[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 632569, member: 11720"] The first thing I learnt about my transfer error was - I was tightening the clamps too tight and putting the whole alignment out of whack. It is the same as standing on a rod of aluminium and bending the corners up. Just align the two dops together in the clamp and slightly tighten the clamps down, no pressure. When changing laps, undo the spindle on the mast and allow it to slide down until it just touches the lap. If you have a mast grub screw, even better. Laps vary in degrees of thickness, so just slide the spindle up and down the mast to compensate, don't wind up or down using mast heightener. Good luck, but don't worry in your pursuit of perfection. The Husky will help you get there. [/QUOTE]
