Oh it's defiantly the machine finally noticed what was going on when manually cutting. I cut a path going straight on y and when i went to cut the second step down the end mill shifted about .010. So i have major column issues it seems. Do's the same thing on x cuts too.
Just put a dial indicator on it. With a collect in and measuring at the Colet i have .010 play side to side and on the column it seems to .004 , So i would say my issues are the claim and the bearings.
Nows the question is how do i fix it? Figure snugging up the bearing should take care of that. But the column play? Snugging up the column lock only takes out .001 , But i don't want to tighten it to much cause it will bind the z and eventual break the casting. So what do i do?
