Default Made machine feet for my Bridgeport -- pix and question

I made adjustable machine feet. I want to perfectly level my
Bridgeport mill by adjusting legs. Then some manipulations of parts
during milling would become easier, as I could use a machinist level
to align parts in vises horizontally. I want them to also be
retractable so that I can mount the casters back and move the mill
around.


Iggy,

You made a rolling base and then went through the trouble of leveling the
machine to the limits of your level. Sorta sounds contradictory. Are you
planning on moving it anytime soon?

For fun, now raise the knee, locking it at various heights and see what kind
of deviation you have. Do he same for X and Y travel.
