    Need help to understand CNC lathe machine

    Hello guys,
    I'm newbie seeking for opinion.

    We are running double spindle lathe machine with fanuc-21i controller to cut an aluminium.

    We observed 1 spindle is significantly performing better than another (output dimensional accuracy) with 100% measurement.
    Spindle A: drifting dimensional (range of 8µM)
    Spindle B : Stable (range of 2µm)
    Had carried out few checking to understand the reason but yet we did not found any abnormality.

    - fanuc card - no faulty
    - back lash - 2µm( compensated 2µm) - normal
    - repeatability test (using dial indicator) - <1µm range.

    Is there any other thing that I overlook.
    I attached my machine performance
