Good thing you made it adjustable. Just imagine the struggle if it wasn't.

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

It wouldn't have been easy. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@TorteTS]

No problem for the insect, joy riding until the end.

😂 It must have had pretty sticky feet to be able to hang in there. Thanks for watching. 👍

I have an LMS3990 mill and it is out of tram. It is a righteous P.I.T.A. To get it properly trammed up. I have spent countless hours trying to get the tram spot on but I have yet to achieve my goal. I recently purchased all-new brass shim stock and may tackle this never-ending problem. I wish that mini mill manufacturing companies would take note of this issue and find a better solution. If I could afford a decent milling machine I would get one, so I guess I just need to figure this thing out. Thanks for sharing your video.

To tell you the truth I still don't have this thing sorted completely, but I now know what I need to do to get it right. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

It was messing with my head for a while there. Thanks for watching. 👍

Gday Paul, I went through the same thing with the round column mill drill I had, definitely an easy way to get rid of a few hours in the day, I made a traming tool with 2 indicators which makes it a lot easier, good you got it sorted mate, cheers

I tried going down that path with this thing but wasn't having much luck with it. I have since discovered that I still have an issue with it, but I had an epiphany while trying to get to sleep last night and I think I know just what is going on with it. Thanks for watching. 👍

It is good that you can adjust it. For my mill I had to use shims to tram in the column. Good work as always.

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

It would have been a pain without the jacking screws. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Stefan Gotteswinter made a video on tramming a column mill using annealed copper wire as shim stock and metal filled epoxy in the interface. I used his method on my Sieg X3 and it worked great. It's a one shot deal though. You only get one go at it.

I'm going to have to revisit this as I've found another issue with it, but after an epiphany last night I now know where the problem is and how to fix it, I guess not all that much different from what you are suggesting. Thanks for watching. 👍
