I can happily report success.
My gratitude to Larry Geib and to YrHenSaer for their comments and advice!
(Turns out the rods or the holes into which they fit were the cause, as i got at least 1 degree of play in each direction).

18 January 2021 at 4:52 pm #697431Hi Larry,
There is indeed a poor fit of the rod into the fence, the plane body is much more snug. I wonder if a previous own has had a file to it as the hole looks imperfect, though I can’t see any obvious tool markings so it might be just a poor cast. I will check out my current stock of drill bits and see if I can find one of a closer fit, failing that I can try filing a side of the rod and see if I can find that balance. The rear rod is definitely a poorer fit, and swapping the rods doesn’t seem to help.
You say +1mm isn’t a lot, but when my current workpiece is only 10mm thick, and I am making a 3mm (1/8th) groove, that 1mm is actually a huge issue.
Thanks for the help.
