My first festool and the build quality is fantastic. I have two questions though. I notice when the drill is spinning, it is not perfectly centered. At low speeds it is most noticeable as the centrotec out part looks perfectly aligned with the drill, but the inner part seems to be moving back and forth as it spins, and the drill bit moves left and right. At high speeds, you can notice the drill bit appearing to wiggle left and right fast.

Anyone else notice a slight offcenter spin?

One more thing, I noticed bits inserted into the centrotec chuck fully allow you to push or pull the bit about 0.5mm. Is this looseness normal? Not a problem to me but just curious.
 
Thanks a lot for the response. I tried the drill a bit and it drills so smooth!
