This setup is to correct manufacturing errors on the mill heads flange face. The flanges mating surface had not been machined parrallel to the spindle by a considerable amount. This left the head out of square with the table. This error showed up only after correcting the machining errors and poor surface finish of the turrets flange faces. Note that this is an earlier and more expensive Taiwanese made version of the VMC and not one of the current Chinese made machines.
