Tramming the Milling Assembly
The tramming plate is precision machined to be parallel to the ram and perpendicular to the
bed. In many cases the default X-axis alignment of the milling assembly will be sufficient. If
more precision is needed, the milling head mounting plate has been supplied with tramming
screws. This allows the mounting plate to be jacked away from the tramming plate to adjust X-
axis orientation, and rotated on the tramming plate to adjust Y-axis orientation of the milling
assembly.
1. Attach a dial indicator with a magnetic base to the end of the spindle.
Example from the LM6000
2. If the drive motor is installed, remove it from the spindle gearbox to enable easy hand-
rotation of the spindle.
