So far this is the only "problem" I have found on this machine. It was shipped to me by HF and the crate pretty much self destructed in transit. The foam liner seemed to be the difference in arriving without major damage. The Z column misalignment is due to the 3 mounting holes being noticeably off. The way covers hide it but its still there. I'm not sure it will matter but it bothers me looking at the misalignment so I plan to remove the column and file the outer holes so it can pivot a bit to a better fit. Am I correct to assume the spindle doesn't see the error from the column misalignment? Or is it a bigger issue than my limited machining knowledge understands?
