Title:

Tramming and squaring the spindle

Text:

Hi,  is there an official method for tramming the spindle ? I have a Mafell one and the 43mm 3d printed adapter that is needed to fit the standard router mount of the workbee isn’t really flat and it’s relative flexibility doesn't allow for a repeatable positioning of the spindle.

I am trying to square it around the Y axis using the 4 screws of the router mount, but I find it hard to fine tune it. For the X axis, I was considering shimming between the router mount and the Z axis C-beam, but I also consider trying to rotate the whole X c-beam on its mounting plates. What do you recommend ?

Thanks.
