[General] the milling machine

[Stephan Henning]

Should be pretty easy to make a tramming bar with some stock and two HF
dial indicators. They aren't the best things in the world, but reasonably
cheap if you can't find anything used at a decent price.

I would assume it has adjustments for it. I think one of those links from
earlier in the thread may have had a manual for the machine.
