    Phil,

    Thanks for the info. I have been unable to use ver2.8 as it was very erratic with accuracy. Could you post a drawing of you cable arrangement somewhere or e-mail me a .dxf file? I've read it several times and it's still a puzzle. also, how big is the single motor you use for the x-axis?

    Thanks,

    Jim

    I tried the cable-encoder drive with no success at all. After 10 air cut rectangles, I was off the zero point by 1/8". I was using the system with the cables wrapped 360 deg. around the modified (actually custom made) encoder pulleys. Anybody got any suggestions? I tried tight cables and looser cables and nothing worked. HELP!!
