fixed gantry
BTW, anytime you have to go through a box section with bolts it's better to drill much bigger through both sides and insert a solid spacer welding in both sides from outside, then drilling and tapping for the bolts, otherwise the box section will crush as soon as you apply a load and getting spacers down the tube is well nigh inpossible unless you anticipate the need and weld them in before the base freme is welded up. https://www.cnczone.com/forums/diy-cnc-router-table-machines/164353-fixed-gantry-cnc-build-log-2.html fixed gantry out of steel

Lathe

Shimming, https://www.cnczone.com/forums/vertical-mill-lathe-project-log/96410-cnc-forum.html or https://archive.ph/AGyjG backup. "test fit" shims of various thicknesses under the end that is down and check perpendicularity with a square off the granite plate. I keep moving the shims around, and using different thicknesses and checking with the square both off the main flat surface and my reference side surface. After the end is square I note the positions of the shims with a marker.
