I noticed that when I go to the XY squaring of the machine, which I have yet to do. It calls to slightly adjust the bump stops if the machine is out of square. With the new bump stops, the machine does not have an adjustment. Is the addition of the new style bump stops supposed to ensure that the machine is square and I need not worry about it?
I don’t recall the Altmill instructions mentioning requiring XY squaring…but maybe I missed it. It shouldn’t require tramming the spindle either, but they do provide an eccentric bolt in case you do.
It may not but these were in the setup so I just figured it might. I was thinking I would make sure it was square before I installed the bed. Heck it may be just perfect as is…I dont know!
You’re right. I must have skipped that part. Then again, I still don’t have my spindle so I’ve just been making a few parts with an attached router. So I haven’t fully broken in my machine yet.
