Question about bicycle cassette

HI,

I bought an Shimano HG-50 8 speed cassette.

When fitted, I could see that it did not seem to be exactly true.

For example, if I turn it backwards with my fingers and use a spoke as a reference point, it deviates by at least 1mm

I took everything apart and tightened up the free-hub.

The free-hub run perfectly true.

It was still the same when reassembled.

So I sent off for another HG-50 ( intending to send the defective one back).

The newest HG-50 was the same.

When I try I put on another new cassette ( an HG model but very old stock) it runs true ( it is a 7 speed with a spacer).

Does anyone have any helpful input.

Thank you
