I'm adding an RT-210B rotary table to my VF2.

I have a real noob question, what is the best way to:

1. check the alignment to the x-axis (I imagine putting a 12" length of precision round stock in it and traversing it end-to-end)

2. How do I set the coordinate system zero to the axis of rotation? I'm imagining probing (I have the WIPS) the side and top of the round bar and offsetting but this seems bogus and too fussy.

How do you do it?
