It took about an hour, but I am finally done, trammed it with a dial
indicator. 0.001" over about 4 inches. (diameter of the circle that
the indicator makes when attached to spindle).

Only .001?

Why did you bother? Thats pretty far out.

Mine is trammed at .0003 at 8" and its Almost ok

You should let Iggy know getting it this close is ten times the work
of getting within .001 over 4 inches.

I fiddled with my Large Super Max till it was --O--O-- (that's an
arrow through two balls, or "dead nuts", an official engineering term)
and then drilled and installed a taper pin to keep it there.

Last time I trammed the head of my Gorton Master mill..was after I
ah...er..crashed a 6" cutter head I was using to plane flat a good sized
chunk of steel about 3" thick by 29" long. I had an Ooops!

Took me about 20 minutes to tram it. But...my head only swivels side to
side, not in and out like a BP .
