I did, and started on the A table. Huge diff in the scale since its a belt drive as opposed to the sloppy, worm driven backlash in fractions of a degree and variable because the bull gear isn't concentric, bigger POS, but now that I have it moving, all I have to do is cut the wrong gender off the cables, strip and tin it and install a small Hilti tip on the tinned part, and wash, rinse and repeat the color order for the other 3 cables. Then disconnect at the disconnects and take it about 6 feet to ground the cable shielding. Then determine the final scale & sign for them. With that in mind, I also bought a 12" digital caliper, and may see if I can measure the axis moved distance with one and of it clamped to the bed. Probably more accurate than screwing with the axis backlash and a 1" travel dial with a .001" scale. Really precise measurement stuff like interferometers are well above my pay grade so I don't have. So I'll give that method a shot once all axises are moving. Nother hour or so. Thank you Marius.
