Thanks, Jon. I don't have a particular goal. Rather, as I'm tuning my machine & learning about EMC, I want to void going on a wild goose chase. At the moment, I just want to see how well it will perform when optimally tuned.
I'm tweaking it in increments, running lots of tests. Currently, It's doing about 25 inches per second rapids, within 0.05 inches FE. I don't know what the FE is at low speeds yet. I had been tuning it with no load, but realize that was a waste of time, so I clamped a steel block to it, adding about 3 pounds to the moving mass. It actually seems a little easier to tune with the extra weight. Much less twitchy. This is roughly in the ballpark of the load it will carry when I mount the other axis on it. Anyway, from what folks are saying, sounds like I should be satisfied if I get the FE down to .010 inches.
