I have checked the gibs several times they seam to be good I get very little lateral deflection under heavy cuts and I did attempt my z test under what I thought to be both loose and tight conditions very little effect on the results so I put it back to what I think was just a little on the tight side.
So I guess these problems should be under the z stepper. So I guess I will be removing it tonight and checking all the screws for tightness. Thank you for responding here, I did contact Khai about the z issue evidently John had been copied. That was 8 days ago I have not heard back. Now I know your busy up there I just thought I would use the resources available to me, thats all.
