Hi!

I just moved this drill press to my house in hopes of reviving it. During the move, the base was removed. After reattaching it and getting the drill press in place, I noticed the column and base are out of square. Admittedly, I bolted the base to column without much thought other than to more easily move it. Is there a correct way to bolt the base to column to improve squareness? I understand more micro adjustments can be made later, but it looked too far off to be right. Thanks!

They're meant to be placed in the vertical position.
