Backlash in a milling machine refers to the slight movement or play between the machine's moving parts, particularly in the lead screws and gears. It occurs when the direction of movement is reversed, causing a delay before the tool engages with the material, potentially leading to inaccuracies in machining. This phenomenon can affect precision and surface finish, making it important to minimize backlash through proper maintenance and adjustments. Reducing backlash often involves techniques like preloading screws or using anti-backlash nuts.
