Levelling a turret mill - suggestions ?
Hi All,
We put my Turret Mill into place yesterday at work. I checked the table with a Level and it's out a bit, but not massively. I've had a bit of a look online and I found a video on YouTube where the guy is using some screws that are in the threads of the machines base #106 How To Do It, level a Lagun vertical milling machine Harley by tatro machine - YouTube . I looked at the threads in my base and with a quick measurement they appear to be M20 and the thread is about 30mm long. I looked at Levelling Feet and found these on eBay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Leveling...-/272625382125 another option I thought of is just put some sheet metal shims under it ie 0.9mm, 1.2mm .
I don't want to bolt it down. I am a bit height restricted, because where we put the Mill is under a Mezzanine but there's enough room to put levelling feet like in the link under the base. What have you guys done to level your Turret Mills ?.
