Successful second plate milled

I've milled the companion plate for the first X-axis plate. Along the way I tried changing the depth of cut to .24mm. This did not work, so I tried adding WD-40. This didn't help --- the machine would still skip steps.
Then I realized that after the last mill run I'd taken off one of the eccentric nuts to test the fit. I loosened that nut, and changed the depth of cut to .20mm.
Everything worked.
