BTA PLASMA

Here is an example with .010 backlash
G0 X0
X1.
X0 (BACKLASH WOULD ONLY BRING IT TO X.010)
X1. (ACTUAL TRAVEL TO 1.010)
X0 (.020)
X1. (1.020)
X0 (.030)
X1. (1.030)
And on and on

So the more changes you make in direction the more the error adds up.

That is incorrect. If you gain 0.01" in one direction you will lose it in the other. Backlash is not cumulative.

Yes your right. It was the wrong example.
