Okay. I decided to re-install my new DSMT with shims to get the elevation right. But first, I thought it was best to double check the SMT alignment and scoot it over a bit to ensure good clearance but ran into a brick wall.
Using a square, dial guage, and a block of wood, i can get the SMT base dead square. However, I can't get the SMT table to cooperate. I find it's either too loose, or not square. I spent 3 hours on it today and no joy. What the heck am I doing wrong. I'm following the book step by step exactly, but I either can't get it square, or the rear right eccentric screw stays too loose.
help me. I feel almost as frustrated as Sailor, or worse, because I used to be very happy with the alignment before I decided to readjust everything to add the DSMT.
There'res got to be an easy way to get the table right, especially since I can get the base right pretty quickly. I'm using a dial gauge. Maybe I'm looking for too close of a tolerance, but I can get my SMT Base dead nuts on repeatedly.
