is the part moving or the kerf filling with swarf thus affecting the size? tho i cant picture how the part gets larger maybe in some direction and not overall? or some sort of stress relief is ocurring if the above, try glue-stops or tabs else, i dunno (fiddler on the roof said. you want to know why? I'll tell you.. I dont know ) tomp tjtr33
