    Haas Mini Mill slightly out of square - adjusting?

    Hi guys, I have a slight squareness error on my new Haas Mini Mill, identified by a ballbar test and confirmed with a square. The X is 40 microns per meter out of square with Y. I was thinking of loosening up the X mounting to the Y blocks and twisting the axis slightly to bump it into perfect alignment, but I'm unsure of whether this amount of error would require me to loosen the ballnut on Y to allow the adjustment, or how difficult this process is in general. Has anyone done this before and is it a PITA? Is this error even worth correcting? The tech said it was within spec, but ideally I'd like this error below 20 microns.

    BTW, machine is fully levelled!

    Thanks
