Try this, put a dial indicator on the table, adjust the dial to zero with contact on the cutter and then push on the side of the uprights.
I am betting you need gussets for rigidity. Looks a little weak to me from the photo. That's why you need to prove it to yourself.
If you were to try different materials with the same gcode program you would get different results of wavy lines. That would prove visually a rigidity or spindle issue. If they were all the same it would be a programming issue.
Edit: Also check with a prybar at the spindle mounts to see if you see movement on the dial, might be a backlash issue on the rotary. I can assure you you have something not quite up to snuff. But cool project thanks for showing it, have fun playing with it.
