I needed to align the rotary table to the spindle, and I found this method is
much quicker, and fairly accurate, although probably not quite as accurate
as inidcating. I put the chuck adapter in the center of the rotary table
and put a 3/8" end mill holder on the chuck adpater. I put another 3/8"
end mill holder on the spindle, and put a 3/8" piece of brass in the
bottom end mill holder. I had to sand the brass rod a bit in order to get
it to just fit in the end mill holder. The hold downs for the rotary table
were in place, but loose. I then moved the XY table to get the upper end
mill lined up with the brass rod.
