Leveling GT-10

[Vern Smith]

I would like to check the leveling on my GT-10. I planned on checking the Z by putting a ground bar in a collet unless there is a better way. The X I'm not so sure about. There is a machined surface that the turret bolts to. I would think this is parallel to the X ways and would be a good spot to check for level in the X axis?

I was away and didn't see this thread until now. We use the machined surface you mention on our GT20s and I am confident it is adequate. These machines are so small setting them perfectly level is not really necessary. Just make sure all the levelling screws are carrying the same load.

Geof,

I used the machined surface and she was close enough for government work. Thanks for the help.
