Zeroing a universal mill table

[TomG]

Pete,

You should be able to tram the horizontal spindle to the table the same as with a vertical spindle. Just mount your indicator 6" or so off center form the spindle and sweep it 360º along the surface of the table. When the table is perpendicular to the spindle, the indicator will read the same all the way around.

So I looked at a pic of your mill and it wasn't what I was thinking. You need to sweep the back edge of the table and adjust it so the indicator reads the same at 3:00 and 9:00. That will align the table perpendicular to the spindle.
