6 mils over a 9cm radius translates to nigh on 0.3mm of packing at the column base, it's around 0.1 degrees out. I could see it was a bit bent when facing with larger endmills but didn't think it was that far out.

Seems a long way out even for a Chinese tool. Have you checked the column and base for paint or rust intrusion? Is it bolted down onto something level and flat?

You think I might have done a Hubble? :naughty:

It's a cheap mill bolted down to a cheap stand, I don't think level and flat were ever really part of the equasion.

Don't know about paint and rust either, I've never separated it. I will certainly have a look see before I put the shims in. Engine hoist job, wasn't actually planning to remove any of the bolts beyond loose. Don't want to risk it getting away from me :whistling:
