Brady....wilco Roger. BTW if you look at my last pic on my initial post here I did in fact chuck in a 1/2" rod and placed a square to that.....that showed square but I still got the ridges. I think I will lay a 1" board across the table along 'my' X (which is the Y for most botters) and cut a series of squares out. Put my square to the sides and if square all round....leave it at that. If not I'll take off the spindle, re-seat it square to its backer and re-mount and adjust as you suggested. As you said if it is not causing issue than don't fret over it but its just that I like the idea of being as close as possible because once done I don't have to worry about it again

Daryl...I do have a Wixey digital angle gauge (I gather that is what you are referring to). I'll try it out as well to see what it gives me.

Thanks guys....
