Had a bit of a GOOF today.
I remounted my vice on my mill and proceded to tram it in and managed to get it dead on this time.
However, as I was tramming, I noticed a bit of "Wiggle" in the table.
I spent the next couple hours adjusting all the gib screws getting out all the wiggle and making sure it moved smooth in all directions.
Problem is that the tram is now off so I'll have to re-tram it before I can start my next project.
Next time I have a wiggle, hopefully I'll remember to adjust gibs before tramming.
Do any of you more experienced out there have any General Check for your machines and recommendations for order of adjustment ???
