scan settings?

[Jason Ilich]

Im having a problem when I try to scan (engrave) an object. If I cut a 20mm square it measures 20mm but if I scan a 20mm square the xaxis is longer than 20mm and the y axis is shorter than 20mm. Any help is appreciated...

1. Perform the measurements in the topic below - as a start point (I know you said it cuts correctly but it is step one to make sure)

2. After completing step 1, review and perform the check and adjustments in the link below.

thanks for the response.. some more info on my machine.. when i purchased it the previous owner had changed out the original control with a LinkMotion by Solustan controller and there was no support for this controller so i decided to install the ruida controller.
I have completed step one several times while cutting acrylic and measuring with a digital caliper so im pretty confident that it is correct, i have not completed step 2 yet but i tried to cut a circle and it cut as a oval instead of a circle so im leaning toward backlash settings etc... thanks for the help...

Ok..understand. Let me know how the backlash alignment works out.
