Otley. Interested to read about your conversion. I can appreciated the theoretical benefits, but do you find that there is a noticeable performance improvement? If so, some further details would be appreciated.

I attached a laser from a cheap level horizontal on the head and with a vertical line on the wall at right angles to the mill all one dose is when lifting or lowering the head just reset to the verticle line .You mentioned that you are using a bottle jack to lift the head,is your column smooth and dosen't have a screw thread as all of the DW, I have seen do.

Hi Frank

Thanks for this, I have an unused level laser which looks like it will be getting a new lease of life…….

The column is standard with the large screw thread but as the bottle jack takes the weight of the column it is easy to adjust it either up or down and then rotate the column nut to suit, then lock off the column clamps.

I did the same as Otley seemed an improvement.
