Thanks Ed.
So once the table was on I decided to level the machine.
I'm not sure how important it is to have the machine level at this stage or how accurate that level has to be as I know you tram the head and the table before you start milling but I assume a reasonable level is desired?
I don't have an accurate machinist level only my brick laying level so the only thing I could think of was to borrow a friends laser level and use my Mitutoyo set square. I got it fairly close but not sure if this is good enough. What do you think gents?
Here is my set up.
