Hi Hood
I'll try and spend some time tomorrow and check for backlash - hopefully something has just come a little loose!
Thanks for the tip.
Kind regards
John

Hi Dave
We have a CNC addition to a profile cutter and have noticed the same thing start to happen.  It was OK for quite a while (more than a year) and has just started to do this.
Ona 300mm diameter circle we end up with two flat spots on opposite sides of the circle - each flat spot is around 50 - 60mm long.
I also not that circles are no longer "perfect" and don't seem to match up as well as they used to.
May be the same problem as yours?
I'll try and check backlash.
Kind regards
John
