Chris' Tips

Chris' Tips
The Nano-Tram makes tramming a small mill a piece of cake. Hold the Nano-Tram top in the spindle with a 1/4" collet. Then simply lower the Nano-Tram top to the Nano-Tram base and check the tram with a 0.001" feeler gage or four strips of paper.

Nick Carter has written a review of the Nano-Tram.

Here is what one uses said about the Nano Tram:

"The 8 Direction [Sherline] Mill is a bear to set up. So I took what I like to call the "Nano-Tram" Challenge. I loosened up all the directions and used the NANO-TRAM to true it up. Boy, what a dream! It took about one third the time to set it up with the NANO-TRAM.

"All in all, I am very pleased with the NANO-TRAM and more confident with my mill now. With not being a retired person, I don't have a lot of time and the speed of setup gives me more time machining."

Instructions for use:

Inspect the Nano-Tram Base and Top mill alignment tools for damage in shipping.
Clean mill table by removing all chips, coolant and debris. With your bare hand, check the area of the mill table for nicks, burrs or other defects. If any exist, they MUST be removed. This can be done with a medium to fine-grit oilstone.
Next, remove any chips, debris, nicks or burrs from inside and outside the mill collet. Also clean the taper of the spindle.
Once you are satisfied the mill table, collet and spindle are in good condition, mount the Nano-Tram Top in the collet and tighten in the spindle then place the Nano-Tram Base over your work.
Bring the face of the Nano-Tram Top down until it makes contact with the top surface of the Nano-Tram Base. Slightly loosen the clamping screws on the head of the mill. Position the Top so it is flush with the surface of the Base and tighten the clamping screws.
Final adjustments can be made by inserting a piece of paper between the Nano-Tram Top and the surface of the Base, then gently moving the paper from side to side, to find contact points between the Top and the Base. A .001” feeler gage may also be used.
