So my question is "how do you compensate for the lack of straightness in the

By assembling your machinery very carefully! 0.002" per foot is VERY
straight, and any X-Y gantry rig with axes over 2' will vary with the WEATHER more
than that, anyway!
Is this something that can be compensated for in software or some other way?
Or do these mills simply not achieve an accuracy better than 0.002" per
foot?<<
See above.
