The DTI as you suggest would answer that question, assuming that the Y is perpendicular to the Z slide face. Setting a square parallel to the T-slots and testing both ways sounds ideal, except for me not having a suitable square. Hello eBay my old friend..... Once I know it is spot-on I can make a square that fits into the T-slots. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
