Hello,

For an inexpensive CNC machine I am planning to use C7 spindles for all axes. While these are far less expensive than ground C5 spindles one disadvantage is that the pitch can vary quite significantly over the length of the spindle. Can the PlanetCNC software/controller compensate this error? I have seen that other CNC controllers can use a lookup-table where the actual measured pitch (which varies over the length) is stored and then used to compensate during movements. At first glance I did not find such an option in PlanetCNC and am not sure that the API offers such a function either.

Did I overlook something or is there a possibility to achieve this functionality?

Best regards,
Alex
