I know more or less how to measure how out of whack the spindle is, but I don't know how to compensate for it. I've got some shim stock. Do I put shims in where the column meets the base / head to column depending on where the compensation is needed? My CNC fusion conversion requires an aluminum brace inbetween the two. . .
