As a former Metrologist I really appreciate seeing you work through the problems associated with difficult measurements and then applying the best solution. I think what most people don't realize is how much thought has to go into the initial setup. You have to not only take the measurements and use them, but you have to be able to visualize what measurements need to be taken and then also know why and how to apply them to solve the complex geometry. Really outstanding work!

You can get a more accurate measurement by using measurement sticks. Two sticks put length wise in between your rods. The sticks are each about 3/4” the length of the gap and you simply spread them until each end contacts the rod and you mark where the end of one stick comes to on the other. Then you do the same to the other side and spread or bring in the rod until it’s the same. You can probably find a better description on the internet. They are commonly used to measure for square on things like drawer bottoms.

I’m an electronics guy. So that servo that connects to that manual ball screw when turned will generate an electrical signal that could be bad for the controller. Make sure when you adjust the hand wheel you either disconnect the shaft from the servo motor or your disconnect the control cable so you don’t get ‘back EMF’ and fry the control board. Just a bit of nerdy advice.

Great content as always. Suggested on leveling the bars to each other, as a toolmaker I would suggest the use of a machinist level instead of the digital level. It will be much higher accuracy, especially once you get use to reading the bubble. You can see changes in the bubble that the digital level will never display. You may not need this level of accuracy but I figured I'd suggest it as you seem to be a person that enjoys continuously improving their quality of work.

Everything about taking the bushings and submerging them in liquid nitrogen to cool them off. Leave the bushings in the liquid nitrogen for about 10 minutes and they will contract and you can easily slide them in to the hole you just machined. Let the bushings warm up and they will appear as if you pressed them in with your hydraulic press. Food for thought my friend.
