I'm experiencing some serious play in my CNC X1. I can't seem to locate the problem and need some help. All of my aluminum parts are missing steps and look pretty bad.

I've tried to adjust the shaft collar and work the play out in the gibs (100%
perfect on the gibs). I can still push and pull on the Y table and fell the it move about 2mm - 4mm. I'm pushing in a forward to backward motion (toward and away from the column).


I've uploaded some pictures of my parts and if you look closely you'll see the offset and a really bad looking layers surface. I've lower my feed to 3 ipm and reduced my depthInc to .04 per pass, so the only thing I can come up with is the play in the Y axis, but can't figure out how to correct it.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
