Hi Robin
This is not a router. I should've mentioned that the head is fixed.
The head cannot be tilted or rotated unlike other mills as it's a cast iron block with the dovetails machined into it. So the only thing I can think of is somehow tilting the spindle itself, but it may be tightly enclosed in its housing so that there is no room to shim it to one side.
With a 300cm diameter and the spindle as a centre, I think there is around a mm. tilt on the X. I didn't measure it precisely because I got a shock when I found this and I am still recuperating:)
