I don't think I have any backlash comp on right now. I certainly have nothing to lose! Life is just an experiment anyway, just helps to know when there are knobs to turn or buttons to push that you didn't know you had!
I can't do rapids over about 75 ipm right and if I turn up the kernel speed in MACH I get some issues now and again. From what I am reading, I could get much higher rapids and none of those hiccups if I go to the SmoothStepper?
