I'm trying to tram up my mill for the first time. I noticed it matters a great deal how much the mill column bolts are torqued down, since I get different readings after adding what are supposedly the correct thickness shims, only to have the dial indicator tell me it's still off. Going by feel clearly isn't working. I can get the column to move 0.003" or so just by rotating the wrench 1/8 of a turn.
Are there particular torque values for the bolts or should I just be consistent? What is a good value to use?
