Do you consider 10 mils of backlash in a foam cutting CNC setup the result
of a poor design for example?<<
Surely somewhat sloppy, if not "poor design". Half that backlash should be
routine for competent machinists. However, a foam-cutter might "tolerate"
that much slop. A metalworking machine such as a lathe or mill
almost-certainly not.
