I am able to wiggle the Z axis back and forth, with quite a bit of play. Then when I go to cut, the bit does not hold tension and barely cutes surface no matter what depth of cutting I set. It was cutting fine, then all of a sudden, I changed files for a new cut, and the tension just wasn’t there to hold the depth of cut.
I tried resetting just about everything. I don’t think it’s a software issue, as the Z axis is the thing that does not have much tension.
Any help would be appreciated.
I’d guess your v-wheels are loose.
I was thinking that was it. When I roll it along the x / y axis, 3 /4 wheels roll. Do I have to take the whole thing apart to tighten the wheels?
Nope. Check this out.
SWEET!!! that did the trick. Thanks a bunch 
I watched the video and there is one thing the demonstrator did not do. The demonstrator did not tighten the allen screw when he got the v-wheel tight.
So after you turn the wrench to get your v-wheel tight you need to hold the wrench in position and tighten the allen bolt. If you only tighten the allen bolt the v-wheel will change position so you must hold the wrench in position and tighten the allen bolt. On the HD Ecentric nuts it is 10MM, the older or original eccentric nuts are 8MM.
In the video the demonstrator got the v wheel tight but the v-wheel will loosen if you do not tighten the bolt.
