- Herse how I go about tramming my Stepcraft Q408 CNC machine. I'm using the Edge Technologies 1/4" shank tram gauge.
Here's a link to my Amazon Affiliate store, You can find the Tram Gauge there along with all my favorite CNC and woodworking tools!

Nice video. Thanks for the info. I just bought the same tool to tram my new Onefinity Foreman Elite. I'm gonna dive into it this weekend.
Thanks for this video. I have a Q204 and could never find a tramming video done on the Q series. Nicely done!
Appreciate it! Once you have the front and back (top of the spindle shimmed) figured out, the left and right is very easy.
never seen someone level off acrylic before. from my understanding acrylic has a fairly large deviation range for its width.
Looking at the Q408 series, can you tell me what you like/don't or maybe even do a video on this? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there on this machine,Thank you!
Thanks Mike
nice vid Mike. Do some more long form stuff!
Really dumb question: I guess this assumes that your bed (and the acrylic) are perfectly flat? I'm sure that it's probably better than not tramming it. This is probably crazy talk, but what if your bed or the acrylic sheet were not flat, or not flat in the spot where you trammed the spindle axis? Almost makes me wonder if there should be some kind of first pass around the whole bed with a laser range finder or something to make sure the bed was level, or maybe to find the most level part of the bed that could then be used for tramming. Maybe the variations in the bed are small compared to the variance or deviation in the spindle axis?
When the CNC machine is produced, the manufacturer should have used it (the CNC) to flatten itself. If for whatever reason you have a bed that is warped or crooked, that would call for a rebuild or return to the manufacturer. The only reason the bed would be crooked would be if the frame was bent or not assembled properly. If the frame if true and machine is square, any spoilboard imperfections will be corrected with a flattening pass.
Would love to see how it’s done on a stepcraft m 1000

Nice video - thank you. I am currently trying to decide between a step craft m or w series CNC and a one finity journeyman elite. I am impressed with step craft but there isn’t as much content on you tube as there is for one finity. I am curious about what made you choose step craft and did you consider one finity. Thanks
I don't have any experience with the OneFinity, the Q machine (what I have) is a totally different level of machine. Stepcraft is known for their amazing customer support and the endless list of attachments (including a newly released plasma cutter) for their machines. I've owned my Stepcraft for 3+ years now. OneFinity wasn't around back then.
Can you show video how to assemble the m.1000 CNC using a precision dial indicator?
I cant unfortunately, I don't own that machine.
Would this process pretty much be the same for an overseas CNC machine? I have an HTC6090 and it’s leaving some pretty good tool/maching marks on my metal. I’m wondering if my tram is off.
Yes, the process is the same, however the bolts may be different. Same calibration with the gauge, you just need to figure out where to adjust your machine.
@@VeteranWoodCo thanks for the reply. I’ve got the strips of mdf spoil board on my cnc. I’m guessing that won’t change up this process any either?
@@ZakRogers correct. Same process. Try to tram off the machine tho, not the MDF.
