In a word - patience (lots of it........).

My Dore Westbury is a complete pig to get truly square, as not only does it have a round column, but it also has a round head support, one that allows the head to pivot sideways.

Aligning X and Y is pretty straightforward, as the head "swing" position doesn't do anything other than alter the effective cutting area on the table, it's getting the head square to the table that takes a fair bit of patience. I don't know what the correct way to adjust it is, but I use the biggest fly cutter I have and just tweak the head (with the lock screw partially tightened, I just whack the head with a soft mallet to jog it around a bit - crude, but effective). I take consecutive cuts on bit of scrap with the fly cutter until I get it "just" cutting on both sides equally.

I've tried setting it up square to the table with a precision square, but the quill isn't long enough to get decent resolution. The big flycutter seems to be far more sensitive to small misalignment.

As an aside, when tramming up the milling vice I now use an old broken long end mill with the cutting part ground off as an edge finder. I clamp a straight edge in the vice securing it to the table with just one of the two tee nuts fairly tight and the other fairly loose. I lower the Z axis until the edge finder is just touching the end of the straightedge where the vice tee nut is clamped fairly tightly. With the straightedge obviously skewed further towards the edge finder I then gently traverse the table. This twists the vice around square, whereupon the remaining bolt can be tightened. I find that I can usually set the vice square to within a thou after no more than a couple of goes at this. There may well be a "proper" way to do this, I'm entirely self taught!
