Feel dumb asking this, but by chance, might there be someone in the Sacramento area who might be willing to help a newbie BT3'r get the darn thing properly aligned? I've spent probably 6+ hours, and while it's getting closer (I think), it just doesn't seem to be close enough.
The SMT was a bit sloppy in side-to-side movement, and when I attempted to tighten, I encountered the eccentric screws and threw alignment even further off. I've gotten it a bit back in place, but just keep getting more frustrated.
Eventually I would like to build a mobile base for it, but since I'm not comfortable with the accuracy yet, don't want to start cutting any significant stock with it misaligned.
Thanks for the wonderful site!
