I could drill and tap jacking screws into the backing plate then attach a level. Good idea, thank you. Brian |

I needed to jack the bottom away from the casting as well to ensure clearance of the actual encoder when it travels. I don't think a level is accurate enough, I used a DTI. and got it to within 0.001" although it states in my installation guide 0.006" or less.
