Real geeks don't use coat hangers. Real geeks use stainless welding
rod. It sounds much geekier.
:-)
Example: I used a couple of stainless welding rods to make a Jacob's
Ladder.
When I built my tiny micro-mill, I used a coat hanger wire bent on the
ends to enable me to mount it in the dremel and the other end was bent
down to touch the table. Then I could lower the head until the wire
would just touch the table at one point in a circle. At that time, I
knew which way

You can use a coaxial.
A cheap aftermarket brake disc makes a nice target surface.

My method for checking this is to have a program that mills

Look for Hoss's G0704 tramming videos on Youtube:

He shows how it's done with silver steel^W drill rod and a DTI. Tram

Indicator will be fixed to the table, on a magnetic base & adjustable
The test you described would tell you if the spindle axis is not
parallel to the Z axis (the column). It would not tell you if the
column is tilted relative to the table. I don't know which type of
error you suspect - I'd think the latter would be more likely.
Update: I went and looked at some p
What are you going to use to run the indicator up and down the rod? If it is a
reasonably well made height gage you should be fine.

Greetings all;

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
