It was the brush on the dust boot. Everytime it went down to carve the brush was pushing against the workpeice and moving the spindle. So I just cut the brush shorter.

Well we thought the problem was the router but both routers had the same problem. The only difference was the problem is less noticeable on the larger router. We replaced the bearing blocks on the...
We tried a different router and the engraving looked much better. The router was the problem. No need for a new BK 15 bearing block. Thank you guys for all your help though.
Actually it probably is the bearing block. We tried the washer and there is still some movement. Anyone know where to buy this model bearing block?

Thanks, looks like a pretty good deal. I like how there is a year warranty and some good reviews. Might go with this company.
What company did you buy from?
I have checked the threads and basically have only seen what you just wrote.
