Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Tramming the Head

That's the way we learned to do it at school too Ian, only we don't use
feeler guages...we let the indicator guage point rest right on the table
surface. One point to bear in mind with this technique is that the clamps
holding the rods MUST be TIGHT so as to prevent an inadvertent movement of
the guage.

BTW...we were taught by an "old timer" gunsmith.
