Greetings all;
I am getting an artifact in my carving such that when the mating pieces
are turned around and the joints meshed, indicates the head may be
tilted a fraction of a degree. The indicator pointers location prevents
it from being viewed headon because you can't see thru the quill, so
some parallax error is possible. It is also possible the tool is
flexing as its currently moving at 50 IPM cutting about .225" deep per
pass, so the chips from an all climb cut are decent sized. And its a
used mill, having cut some alu in its history. It was a handy bit in
reach at the time.
I do not have a dial holder that would hold a .0001" dial indicator in
the spindle for a rotational check to see if its dead perpendicular to
the table AND the table currently has the work holding jig/pallet
mounted and in the way of accessing the tabletop. Its just clamped, but
I think I'd glue a T-groove fitting stick to each end of it so it
becomes keyed to the table before I'd remove it.
As a method to show grosser errors, I am thinking of chucking up an 8"
section of A2 rod, verifying any runout, and dialing the side of that as
I run it up & down the post.
Would this be a suitable method of checking the alignment ("tramming")
between the post and the axis of a mounted tool?
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
