How to tram a Sieg X2 mini mill. Thanks in advance!
I am a beginner
I have the Sieg X2. The Cummins version. I want to make the Z-axis as square to the table as possible and I don't know how. I want to drill very straight holes. I see that the head can be adjusted side by side. By loosing the big nut in back. How do I make sure this is as straight as possible? I have used a square and eyeballed it. How would I use a test indicator or Dial indicator to make it more accurate? Is it possible to adjust the squareness of the head front and back? Is there adjustments for this? How square front and back do the Sieg X2 mills come out of the box? How would they compare to a quality drill press? I have collets for the bits I need to use. But how accurate is the standard chuck that comes with the mill? Thanks so much for any help! |
