Tramming the Router

I have succeeded in the tramming arena - I’m within a few thousands on each X and Y. I learned a few things and appreciate the helpful comments along the way. For a flat, level surface, I purchased the Taytools 279144 One Piece 5/16 x 5 x 12 Dead Flat Float Glass. It’s just thin enough to allow the Edge Technology tramming gauge to pass under the Z-Slider in both directions. I used a bent 1/4x20 threaded rod to attach a single dial indicator to the router for measuring and leveling the glass in four corners. I adjusted X axis by loosening/tightening the Makita mount at various torques. I fixed the Y-axis “nod” by loosening the Z-slider and shimming at the top with a piece of .020 feeler gauge. All is good.
