Here are some pics of the plate I siliconed and bolted to the back of my column.

It makes such a big difference! I'm thinkin if I gave up on the idea of having head tilt, and welded some tabs onto the bottom then bolted it straight to the base it would be pretty solid. But I'm not sure if I need too, i'm positive any further movement is just the rest of the flimsy mill.





Edit Haha, I did get a shot of the wasp that was hovering around my mill while I took pics.
