I didn't mean YOU were a sheep - sorry.
I meant forums like this in general, people tend to post like sheep. If they've read it, it must be true, so they repeat what they have read... and so it goes on. Even though most have never actually tried it themselves.

I know you complemented my machine, I said thanks :) but then you say it can't be that accurate ! when in fact you have no idea how accurate it is. It's almost as if you are implying that I don't work with any accuracy, which is kind of insulting to me ;)

My parts come out the correct size, and square, with no noticeable backlash or carving errors when doing small circles or fine engraving.
That is my test of accuracy.

I have said I have play in my X bearings, and I know not to have short fast accel's for it not to show up. That is something I will be fixing. but it's nothing to do with the MDF

We are cutting wood here remember, not aerospace engineering LOL I have 1 thou (imperial) resolution, but you could never measure wood to that degree, as the fibers compress etc.

Steel is good. I said that (I think) MDF can also be good, don't knock it till you try it, that's all . (I'm not even saying you should try it, just don't dismiss it because you THINK it's bendy ! )

I don't want to get on the wrong side of anyone here. but text on a screen can make it look like that (both ways) sometimes.

! PEACE n HUGS ! n all that and good luck with your build
