Hi guys,
I have finally taken the plunge and purchase new a AL-960B and HM-46.
Now the fun begins. I was hoping some more experienced guys could answer a few questions to help me get started. The HM-46 has a dovetail column and can be adjusted 45 degrees each way.
I want to make sure the Mill is cutting perfectly Perpendicular to the bed. What is a good way to set this up? for that matter what is a good way to be sure I have angles set perfectly without trusting the degree plate on the head. It does come with a little electronic digital bevel box but I'm not convinced this is perfectly accurate.
Also I am intending to do some metric thread cutting on the lathe. Is it a complicated process to change gears to allow this. What metric pitchs can be cut with the lathe as it comes from the factory?
Many Thanks Max
