I built a tramming gauge last weekend and have 0.008" of either 1) table tilted UP along Y axis or head sagging DOWN along Y AXIS.
Any recommendations? Turning gib screws does nothing. Seems like shimming table is next step....
I think you meant shim the column not the table. .008" is quite a bit out. Shimming the column will get you where you want to be. It can be tedious but is worth the effort. Then using Rollie's Dad's Method as described on the Hoss Machine website you can check spindle perpendicularity.
