I do have a manual for the SD1525pdf but, its 16mb

Thanks again for all this handholding

I hadn't thought to check if the ballscrew turns freely by hand - will take a look at that when I'm back out there tomorrow

When I was turning counterclockwise, if I went back more than those 3 turns or so the resting axis lag went up to about 0.020. I tried to see what the lag was like while moving at that setting, but it immediately faulted out when I jogged x. So, I backed off a bit.

Would it be reasonable to adjust sig until resting lag starts to rise, then adjust BAL back to zero, then repeat until I can get the X lag while moving to match the Y?

I'd love to see the manual for the sd1525s, thanks! I'll pm my email address.

Thanks again,

Lee
