Is there a specific way I should be tramming my nomad 3?

I would check for spindle run-out first:

Correcting spindle run-out

I thought I’d post this for others using very small bits in the Nomad where run-out can be an issue. If you’re suffering frequent breakage this may be of interest. I checked three 1/8" shank bits and found the run-out to be about 0.06 mm, a serious amount as I’m preparing to use a 0.127 mm bit. I also measured run-out of a bit in a high precision 1/4" collet and found that to be about 0.03 mm. I’ve ordered another, high precision, 1/8" collet but thought I’d see how much of the run-out might be…
