Default Trammed the mil yesterday

Ignoramus10056 fired this volley in
:

It took about an hour, but I am finally done, trammed it with a dial
indicator. 0.001" over about 4 inches


Hardly done! G

That means it's off more than two tenths just over the diameter of a 1"
bit. That wouldn't give very pretty facing work.

But that's just my opinion.

I do have a question, though: Since yours is a fixed ram machine, how
did you go about it? Did you follow the maintenance manuals, or come up
with your own technique? That's a heavy head, and when you loosen the
bolts, it wants to move all on its own.
