It sure seems to. It's carving one right now.
I think that is just normal wear. Hard to tell on the Z rail but it looks like a little bit of rust or build up. WD-40 on a rag to clean it up and lube....
It is going in the mail as soon as I get of the computer....

Well, then get off your ding dang computer!!! LOL
I just cleaned the rails, bearings and sweepers and the head moves a bit more freely than it ever has. /shrug
You got mail!
The ease of movement was from removing the dust build up on the rails and bearings.

I noticed white residue on my rails as well. I thought it was from using Dry Lube so I quit using it and now use Way Lube (used on Mills and Lathes).

I switched from 3 in 1 to WD40 for my rails and rollers.. no more clog

Have been using wd40 since I got my machine and no problem so far yet. after every carve I clean all the rails with wd40 blow out the hole Machine then Vac up everything I and around the machine and blow out the hole shop into the street. as far as the rub marks don't worry just wipe them down at the end of your carve.
I use the dry lube and have never had a problem at all. I think I'd be afraid to use way lube as that is really thick and heavy oil and would hold the dust and wood chips. WD 40 would be ok in my book as well as it does dry up after a while. Just my 2¢ worth.
