    hello, I have a problem with my Z axis, this one has a little play in Y which means that when drilling the holes are askew, I have already tried to tighten the wheels to reduce the play but that did nothing, I changed the wheels but it is the same, the game is still present anyone have a solution? THANKS

    Grip the endmill and give it a wiggle. Human's touch sense can detect much smaller movement than our other senses, so using the sense of feel, follow the play to find the root source.
    Could be wheels, could be stop collars, could be slipping shaft coupler (check grurubscrews) etc

    for me the games come from the wheel which is not used enough on the profiling, I have already replaced the wheels with new ones but nothing happened.
