I noticed some depth of cut deviations today while cutting pockets on my 5pro, not a lot but had not noticed it before. Did some checking on the HDZ and I have some play in the Z axis, (about .125") Checked what I could and all seemed tight. The ball screw seems to move up and down in the HDZ mount. I included a video of the movement. Already emailed Tech support but thought I would post here too. Any ideas ??
Thanks

Figured out the problem. The nut at the top of the Ball Screw was loose. I was able to remove the stepper motor and coupling and access it from the top with a 16mm socket. It will be necessary to prevent the Z axis from traveling while you tighten the nut. I added some more Blue Loctite and retightened. Thank you Fleming from Tech Support for the quick response and phone call to help me sort it out.
