OK, now comes the fun part. There are no Bridgeport style adjustments

Louis - have you established that it needs tramming ? Mine is dead on,
from the factory.
You do have to resorts to shimming if it needs adjusting. Also, might
be tough to do, as
it is has dowel pins securing it in the factory-calibrated position.
