Tramming Post Style Mill/Drill
#14
Have you trammed the mill?  If not what ever feature you machine on a part will be out of square with the bottom.  Even something simple like drilling holes requires the head to be trammed (sq with the table).

He shows how to do so on a mill with a ram.  Round arm mills like your BP and my Fray are more difficult, but the overall procedure is essentially the same.
