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.
This was the best that I could do.
I will try to face some piece of material and see how it looks with
the head trammed.
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.
There is a eccentric cam on one of the four bolts. This is what I
used.
