Maybe my data, as presented, is incorrect. It does not feel hard to move at all. And, since I took those measurements, I installed the DRO. When I did that, I disassembled the table and did some deburring, cleaning, etc on the ways, so perhaps that was all a contributing factor, back when I got my data. Or my gib screws are too tight. But using the small hand crank at the end of the table, it moves ok, I think. But I will look into your recommendations.

Thanks
BTW if you are into reading C code here's my ELS Source code. I do the micro-stepping for the Z axis myself. Or if the internal stepper driver is disabled the step/dir pulses are on the parallel port output for X and Z.

If you have issues with downloading with this link through the forum you can also go here to get it.
