Newbie Tramming an X2

Chuck,

You have probably already done this but if not, make sure the Z axis gib lock is nice and tight. In fact I lock ALL the gibs during tramming.

One other thing that might help. when you turn the spindle to move from one side to the other first slip a thin card under the DTI pointer and use the drawbar wrench to rotate the spindle. Do not touch the DTI supporting bits. Be sure slip the card back under the pointer as you approach the other end. I had many of the same problems you are having when I got my mill. These items caused most of them.
