    G0704 z slide(carriage) surfaces not parallel

    I am in the stages of converting my brand new G0704 mill to cnc and noticed while tramming spindle to column that the spindle is leaning front to back. After measuring the thickness of the z slide its about .010" tapered top to bottom. Anybody else having this issue? Can somebody who has theirs apart mic the slide for parallelism? Looking at the pics the top of the slide is about .010 thicker than the bottom. Im pretty sure this is where the tilting is coming from
