So my new LMS 4190 is up and running. Spent the day learning the mill and doing some minor disassembly and cleaning and lube. Overall my mill was assembled ok from the factory. Everything works smooth and snug. My only issue is the fact my column is out of tram a total of .032" over the full width of the table in X. I'm out about .009" in the Y. My plan is to machine a 2" riser "shim". This will not only add the lost Z height when running a vise but will get my head much closer to zero. I added a .010" shim under the column mount and I got my X to within .006". Good enough for what I will be doing. I'm actually going to purposely machine a .010" taper in the spacer to correct the tram issue. Learning how to operate the Bluetooth DRO got a bit tricky as i'm not really a phone techie type guy but I did figure it out. I bought the powerfeed option and reading the install directions was pathetic. The language is obviously poorly translated Chinese to English but again I figured it all out. Ran the spindle at varied increasing speeds to perform a spindle "break in". I'll update this thread once I machine the riser. Few pics :
