I was never completely happy with the hand setup of the router. I have become particularly frustrated with the finish of pockets. So I bought a square spindle. Tramming the Y axis was easy (I corrected more than 1 degree of tilt) but I found [the screw travel](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/tramming-front-to-back/8421) in the X axis is too limited. I am at 0.4 degrees in the X axis and I cannot tighten the screws more. In my quick test, the finish has improved dramatically (I think the Y axis made a big difference) but I’d like to improve the X axis. I am wonder whether I should swap for longer screws. ---

I used up all the crew travel after adding 6 layers of kitchen aluminum foil to the feet. ---

Thanks, it’s reassuring and I feel less lonely with this problem 😊 I was wondering if I should swap longer screws. Didn’t get around to trying it yet.
