Yesterday I decided to check the tram on my small mill in preparation for working on my next project.
I set about the job having the normal problems of hopping over the tee slots wishing that i had a tramming plate to ease the work. so I started to look around the shop for something I could be sure was of even thickness. All of you smart engineers please go to a different thread. I had a copy of Yachting World on the bench, and because I used to help a friend in his printing shop I knew
that the thickness tolerance on a sheet of dry printing paper is 5% so on.0038" thick paper the max variation is.00019". So I tried it. the stylus pressure is just enough to ensure that to ensure the any air gap underneath is taken up without denting the glossy surface And the paper is strong enough to let the stylus the glide over the tee slots. it worked like a charm.
Now I will sit back and wait for the Flack.:nutsr not
