I agree with post #7, problem resolution #1. If you want accuracy, lock the knee tight and don't move it during machining.
Check your saddle for rock, also. The longer table machines typically will wear the saddle faster as the extended table puts more of a cantilevered load on the guiding surfaces.
As far as the noise from the splines - avoid interrupted cuts and the noise is gone. Otherwise, you will have to use good earplugs - I have never run a BP or a clone that did not have that familiar clacking noise.
