Bent lead screw, worn/loose/tight v-belt, loose/tight change gears, worn/loose spindle bearings.... yada, yada, yada.
All depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go I suppose.
Changing the hard lumpy Chinese v-belt on my lathe to a Fenner linked belt made a big difference in the finishes I got after changing it. I still have to be vigilant with sharp tools and short stick-outs though.
