Damn..and he actually paid for that?

It's a CNC, Gunny. Lacking a 4th or 5th axis, all it can do is 2.5D. It
can hardly be called a manual machine, although his EMC work allows
joysticking.

Unless a CNC has head gimbaling under control, the ability to tilt the head
isn't of much use.

Ah! Id forgotten he was using a Bridgeport (?) Series 3 or something.

Yah..he really really needs to get it down to small tenths else its
really going to show up on facing and whatnot.

I think Id check parallel front to back first..see if the table has
sagged..in which case...perhaps tightening up the Z axis table gibs may
help a lot.

And then go x axis side to side
