Update: Mill is now sitting on 3/4" plywood and 3/8" steel plate, bolted to the toolbox, and the DRO is installed. I hate installing glass scales. Maybe it's easier on bigger machines. And I've also done the 3-bolt and tramming aid mods.
I still have to tram the vise, and make/install some levelers for the toolbox. The floor is a bit uneven over here so I bought 2 48" long pieces of 2" square tubing and will run these under the box with 1/2" allthread on the ends to level the box, and will tie the two tubes together with allthread at each end to make it a bit more stable. No welder, so I have to do things the hard way. :shrugs:
