hi

I'd still choose epoxy though as it's so much quicker and easier than messing about with shims
,

yes i am doing, i think you did post the readings from your shims then your epoxy, iether that or it was the bare metal and the epoxy.

I was thinking, epoxy on top to take out surface imperfections, ( although a real lot of that would be taken out by the bolt jig ). Am also haveing quite a wide ( down the X ) gantry ( sacrificing cutting area ), so alot of minor imperfections will taken out becasue of the space between the Y barings to the X
