John,
you make a good point. While we didn't remove the rails on the z, we also did not check them after reassembly. I will do so later today. Not sure how that would have happened to create the original event but maybe I'm getting stronger in my old age and torqued the chuck too much when putting in the bit. So long as I can banish the demons for a while and make some dust, that is forward progress.
Jim,
in theory there is always deflection when a force is applied, but I think (hope) that it is minimal as I typically only cut low density modelling board. I will also run the test you suggest as a thousand theories are not as good as one set of measurements in my experience.
I appreciate both of your suggestions.
Regards,
Greg
