I'm using my Harbor Freight X2 mini mill. I converted it to cnc not long ago. I 
don't cut a lot of circles with it but when I do I noticed they are not 
perfectly round. I'll check for binding on the different axis, but I've never 
had a problem with them binding in the past, the gibs might need adjusting 
though. 


I guess maybe my next step would be to cut a circle with it and then find out 
in which direction it's out of round, if I understood some of the replies 
correctly. I recently checked and adjusted all axis for backlash and made the 
necessary adjustments in the program, so my next thing will be to look at 
binding, or play in the leadscrews.
