"Y" is its output, and has zilch to do with a Y axis you do not have. X is its input from the motion x axis position, and the Y is the output correction to sum with the z value to get the profile you need. If there is, for instance, a straight line taper from x=0 to x=11", and the machine has a straight line error between those 2 point, measuring at X+011.00 where the accumulated error is 7 thou then you would setp setp x0 value zero setp y0 value zero setp x1 11 setp y1 -0.011 and it should make a straight cut But then if your ideal profile shrinks by 23 thou in the next inch you would setp x2 12 setp y2 -0.033 There is nothing stopping you from moving the x1 point to anyplace between the x0 and x2 points. Ditto for x2, it can be anyplace between x1 and x3. etc etc. Using halscope to trace what you are doing, I would be surprised if when the halscope trace looks good, your next strip you cut would be a lot more accurate, needing much less planing or sanding to get to the desired profile. Maybe even zero if the blades are sharp enough. When I am using a fresh ATBF blade in my table saw, I can get a decent enough cut that I can immediately do a 42" glueup, edge to edge without any recourse to my Bailey #7 or the jointer to get a perfect glue joint that holds for many years. No biscuits in it, just edge glued. One thing about bamboo I both like and hate is that when pushed, it will over time take that pushed shape and exert little or no back force. Which is why a bamboo pole needs to be hung from its tip eyelet to store. Lean it against the wall, and in a week you could use it for a recurved bow. The year old bamboo stick swings totally different from a brand new one because of this. The old one it seems, always has the better swing and "feel". And no one has ever translated that good bamboo swing & feel into fiberglass at all well. Carbon fiber is 10x worse IMO. Way the hell too stiff to work my way even with an 8 or 9 weight fwd line.
