Hi to all
right now i´m putting a back plate to my mini mill column, i made from a scrap steel plate, all going very well, i made the holes to the base and column and put the screws everything in place, so were are the troubles?
well, once the plate was instaled I proceed to tram the mill for real, following the nex steps:
first i will tram the colum true to the table, then i will lose the four screws of the head and tram the spindle head true to the column travel, done all, the mill should be ready.. and then finally i will be able to get real square corners and perfect finish with the fly cutter....
but soon I realize that in the first step, i should not put the column straight to the table but has to be straight to the table X and Y travels, well, i took some readings with the dial indicator, the results are:
in 23 cm of the table I have 0.06 mm of runout, that means that the suface of the mill table is not parallel to the bottom, and in the Y axis has a runout too....so i´m imagining some like this:
i´m getting a good head pain trying solve this little problem, any thought on this?
i will apreciate very much your opinion on this
thanks
Saludos
