Thanks for the advise. I'm pretty sure the mill head is trammed because I got a cross-hatch pattern using an end mill while making the spin indexer tail stock. But, I'll check it to be sure. I'll increase the radius on the tool bit after checking the tram and try another pass with it tomorrow.

Ed a smaller diameter endmill compared to a fly cutter is much more likely to produce a "cross hatch" pattern.
The radius of the flycutter tool tip is much greater and so will show the "out of tram" condition much clearer.
