Hello Robert, a very accurate way of leveling your table is to unscrew your dialindicator from the magnetic base and mount it into your drillchuck, then you can swivel/rotate it arround the table. So you can avoid measuring between unmachined surfaces. Implied that your chuck can accept the diameter of the shaft. Keep going and stay happy as you are. Best regards Dirk
Hi, I've done exactly that ( ruclips.net/video/sY7Z0ZAzo4Q/видео.htmlsi=PfVmHUKwCJMB9mb4 , ruclips.net/video/vcCYg-J11NY/видео.htmlsi=rEI0OVgwZJUJ6Rr5 ). I even machined a mild steel shaft for that purpose that would fit into collect ( ruclips.net/video/kNFofU-HzBY/видео.htmlsi=Py1E-HJIcEQhqIj5 ). However, the runout of the spindle is (meanwhile) quite large, so that method only yielded the results you see in the video 😐

A small car jack is great for table support.
Great idea! Thanks!

Ah, sorry, I don't get it 🤔
