Default Any Taig Wizards

I seem to have some slop/lash/variance in the X axis of my mini mill. Since
I mostly use it for engraving it was not horrible, and I never really
worried about it, but occassionally I machine a part that needs to be
consistent. Also, recently I was doing some circle cutting in the process
of making some commemorative coinds for an event, and I noticed they had a
distinctive off center bump near the extemes of travel on the x axis. Very
visible. I could deal witgh a few thousands out of round, but this is a
visible distrotion of the shape of the coin. How do I adjust the mill to
reduce this problem?
