...Pull the side cover make sure belts and gears are OK, proper clearance on the gears.
On mine, the key from the pulley on the motor extruded itself while I was doing th break in. Check to make sure it is tight.
Yeah, I started out by leveling across the vee's using a pair of vee-blocks. I felt like an idiot when I got done and only then realized they were at different heights.When you level it, stack some parallels on each side of the v on the bed since one v is higher that the other so it will be true. Use a machinest level. The more true it is the better it will cut.
A pair of 123 blocks is just the ticket; place them on the ways and put a level on top of that.
