As I go to cue a record, I can feel the tonearm pushing back on my hand to the right slightly.
I suppose this is the antiskating force.
That sounds like too much force.
I use a test record to calibrate the force. It has 5 levels of distortion, the highest level has the least amount of modulation. You adjust for equal amounts of volume from left to right channels.. You can actually adjust the anti-skating to a point where the distortion in one channel becomes inaudible.
Very nice tool and floyd Toole is one of the producers.

What's the make and model of turntable?
I remember a Dual that turned on by the angle of the tonearm - pushing it from the rest stand toward the record would activate the on/off switch, and it took enough force to do that that I found it really annoying. I worried that it pushed too much on the tonearm bearings.
This was a lot more than "slightly." but since you brought it up...
