Yep +1. I adjust my hubs in the bike and the adjustment of my cup/cone bikes is so close to perfect that I can adjust the final amount of play by tweaking the tightness of the skewer.

1. Set skewer tightnenss to appropriate tightness.
2. Open skewer lever 3/4 of the way.
3. Loosen cones with 2 cone wrenches so there's some play.
4. Tighten skewer

If play goes away repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Open skewer arm 1/4 of the way.
6. Axle play should be present
7. close skewer and play should go away.
