I think I was too concerned about keeping it all aligned so I could rely on it to make precision cuts. In truth I will rarely use the table saw and can tune up the alignment when I do. The bandsaw doesn't care as long as the power gets to it nice and smoothly, the drill press is not hard to check, the planer also just needs a straight shot for smooth power. Lathe isn't so picky. So, yeah. Seems I was overly worried. The flier is so screwy that I'll have to do a sanity check each time I move it but making the base rigid enough that a corner WILL come off the ground when it needs shining and it should be fine. Guess I need to build a nice rigid toolbox between the legs.

If it is rigid enough so one leg is off the floor it will be easier to know what to shim. At least that was my thinking.as it is now all four hit the ground except the worst areas of the floor. Actually I just want a toolbox there and am looking for excuses.
