I realized that Andy, at about the same time I was pulling on my coat to head for the shop. With strong enough steppers its moot in any event. But that doesn't negate the fact that with the load offset, you have more rapids available going one way than the other. So you wind up tweaking for the slowest direction. Often by reducing accel to what it can handle, then raising vel a bit. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
