+1 to the use of the Pro Tram tool. Saves a lot of time and you get it spot on!

Thanks a bunch! This solved my problem. I used a small shim or sheet styrene. I thought it was my Aspire settings.

Good info, Tim. I don't have a CNC but have been considering it and gathering as much info as possible before making a decision. Thanks. Stay safe and healthy.

Thanks so much, I have a 96x48 Shopbot I bought used and just got to surfacing yesterday, 2" bit and I had some ridges, driving me crazy. Ordered a tool last night to do the tramming and turns out it is just like the one you used. Excited to get my new tool and get my Shopbot dialed in. You did a great job with the video, length, quality, not too much extra commentary. Great job my friend. Can I ask what type of CNC you have?

I got the avid CNC... very similar to the shop bot...

For shims I just use the strips from a feeler gauge.

Thanks for sharing this. Where did you get the tool that senses the tool’s location? The aluminum x,y,z location?

Very nice and informative video! I like the way you explain everything. I have a question, what kind of fixtures do you use to keep your wood in place? It looks like they're 3D printed. Did you find them on thingieverse?

I updated the links in the description. They are Kreg inline clamps, here is a link: amzn.to/3sSxbs7

.01 or even .005 depending on how bad your board is. You can certainly do more. .05 is one 20th of an inch...

amazing video!! a couple questions ... 1) What did you do about the edge ridge it looks like was left? 2) Any special reason you went Y instead of X? Does it matter? Sub'd for the great vid!

You can't tram a CNC, but you can tram a CNC *machine*. ;)

Just buy a cheap indicator and clamp it to a precisiin pin inserted into the spindle collect. Then rotate it to sweap the surface of the table. To clamp it to the pin you can just buy one of that cheap metal-made chinese "third-hand" used for solderng small circuits on Ebay (yes the ones with a magnifying glass too). Unmount it and you will have all you need for clamping.
