I have a VN #12 and so far I’m loving this old machine. My nub ways have not broken anything more than end mills and pride but I still have so much to learn.
Question. Is there a proper procedure for setting up for horizontal milling? To date, I have just inserted the arbor, tightened that up, then placed the over arm support into the center hole and locked everything in place. Not considering if the overarm is in line with the center of the machine spindle. Is there a more correct way to do this? Sweep with indicator, etc?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
