Yes, not a real problem. I took the head off the column, loosened the four bolts that hold the two parts together but kept them tight enough so that the friction was enough for them not to slip in handling, then put it back on the column. Then tap the head with a hide hammer until the test bar showed no (or little) dial movement when moving the head along the column. It took half a dozen taps and tests to get it right. Took the head off, tightened the bolts and tested again. The misalignment is now just under 2 thou along 8 inches of Z movement.
Russell.
