I've just picked up a used WD-1 that came with the cast aluminum tooling plate. I know the mounting holes are slightly oversized to allow for aligning it square with the X and Y axes travel.
My question is what strategy would you employ to make sure it is square? Dowel pins, setup blocks, and a dial indicator? |

Good question. I have an HS1 and will have to check to see if it is the same. I never thought about squaring up the tooling plate as I have never done anything that registered off the holes in the table.
I think I would use the router and move it in the x, y axis making sure the bit was centered on the holes as I moved it in each direction.
edited: Just noticed the date of your post, guess I am a bit late. Can you tell us how you squared up the table. May be something I will encounter.

I ended up using .25 steel dowel pins in the tooling plate holes to brace precision parallel blocks and ran the dial indicator up and down the Y-axis. Ended up with the hole pattern square to X-Y within .002 over 20 inches. I can live with that.
