It took about an hour, but I am finally done, trammed it with a dial

Only .001?

Why did you bother? Thats pretty far out.

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

I could not get it better than that. Spent 10 minutes on that final

Chicom..shrug but one Okuma as well

I think that I am fine the way I am. I just milled an aluminum flat
with a 1/2" end mill, and can't feel any surface imperfections.
