I had a brake disk surface ground so it can be laid on the mill table and a

I've done to date it's been adequate. It fits on my surface plate so I
could scrape it even flatter and maybe someday it will move up to project
#42.
I have a program that generates a full circular arc, and
then goes to the center of the arc.
So, I can mill a path around the circle, then swap the end
mill for a dial test indicator, and sweep the
circle. So, I can tram the head to the actual X-Y plane of
motion, not just the surface of the table.
And, in fact, due to wear, I get a little bit of a saddle
shape there. But, you can set the tram to
get the best average of the X-X and Y-Y deviations.
