help with x2 chatter,

[Micro Milling]

OK, I must say that i have lots more chatter in my x2 than my x1.

Since I'm fairly new at this I need help to reduce the chatter. I was getting very bad chatter and vibration at one point and realized that I needed to tighten the little nuts on the head and on the x and y movements.

This helped the problem, but was wondering how to tighten up everything and how to tighten it up. I notice that if you tighten it too much then the table or head won't slide.

Please any tips on how to tighten and what to tighten. Also, how often do you need to keep tightening these nuts and how often should I keep checking?

shake the table slowly, does it give a little?
