I've had a Bosche plunge router for several years now, and like it very much. While adjusting a round-over bit in it, I discovered that the base is not square to the collet. Instantly, this explained so many of the little problems I've had over the years.
My question is this, how does one go about adjusting the base so that everthing's square? Do I shim the base? What do I use as a reference?
I looked through the Starrett catalog to see if there were cylindrical ? or whatever that I could chuck into a router for testing. Sort of like using a straight-edge for jointers & table saws. It could be used for a drill-press too.
I have never seen anybody address this, and wonder how big of an issue it is.
Thanks for any help in advance.

P.S. Does Par Warner's book discuss this type of thing?
