Yikes. Maybe November was wishful thinking on my part. I'm now hoping at least for a Christmas present.My initial ETA for my machines was August. Im still waiting. Shipping has been nightmare lately. Ordered in April.

I too got me one of those fancy new tram gauges today from Edge Technology. Quite nice, especially for tramming the nod on knee mills. My tram is <0.0005 on the X and Y axes.I got my new tram gauge today and I checked the tram on my new 728 vt . It was dead nuts in both axis.....I didn’t have to do any adjustments at all....Thank You Precision Mathews.....
How do you like the Haimer?Mine was dead nuts too. With a haimer I saw less than 0.02mm across the entire X axis!
I believe they are trammed before they leave the factory and are really tightened well.
It was really good to see this.
I try to be really careful with those ceramic tips as they are priced very richly.How do you like the Haimer?
I want one, but $43 if you break one of those little red ceramic "mechanical fuses", kinda turns me off, at the price of the instrument, IMHO they could at least provide one spare.
He did. Note that the T-slots have rotated 90 degrees between his two pictures.Dumb question for the OP: Did you turn the spindle 180 degrees and confirm that the readings don't change?
No, I was asking if it had been turn 180 degrees. Depending upon how the dial indicators are zeroed, they "could" read something very different when their positions are swapped. The only way that's not an issue is if the indicators are known to extend the exact same amount, and that the shaft in the quill is known to be exactly 90° to the plane of the indicators.He did.

I hear he did it the "iron man way", and held the indicators still, and rotated the whole mill
Sorry about that, I mis-read your question.No, I was asking if it had been turn 180 degrees.
