Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Leadscrew Error

EMC does have the capability to map out errors... see the docs.
If you are using other software or want to match tandem screws
with a simple mechanical system that can give ground ballscrew accuracy
from inexpensive rolled screws see my engineering page below. Click on
the cnc gantry router link.
