    DV59 Dials - Advice for Quicker Tramming

    I was making my first chips in the DV/DSM-59 last night. I realized that the my dials were out of square and turning a taper. I used a 123-block clamped to the bed and then maged-down a Noga with indicator, to tram in the X-axis. Obviously, the compound protractor is "close" but for dead-on...
