Picture a billet of rectangular bar stock 500 long indexed so as the long axis is in line with the ram stroke. I machined one face and then rotated the bar so that that face was now downwards and snug down on the base of the vice so as to machine the second face parallel to the first. The end at the extreme end of the stroke measures .4mm greater than the near end, suggesting possible droop in the table or some other misalignment. I didn't have time to properly set up dial indicators etc to properly trace the problem.
Those with a keen eye will also notice that the finish is ot what it should be. That actually only occurred on the last cut, before that I was quite impressed with the finish produced.
