I'm having problems on my G0602 lathe (cnc conversion) where during a parting operation, as the parting tool gets closer to the center, the entire carriage dips and the tool tip goes under the part. I noticed that I could grab the carriage and by hand force a .010" measured deflection of the tool tip at rest. I thought, ok lets adjust the saddle plates so there is less play. It seems that Grizzly chose to not create any saddle plate adjustment setscrews, similar to other benchtop lathes, on this lathe.

Anyone else encountered and solved this problem? The lathe is almost unusable with this level of slop in the saddle.
