Tony, you wrote:
"The only way for me to eliminate both the side error and IE - is by star+"obturator" trick."
You don't need to eliminate "side error". It is harmless. Reduce any side offset to a level where it's not inconvenient, and you're done. The name "side error" is misleading.
I like your trick, by the way! I will have to try it sometime.
