I know how to tram but how do I adjust/shim the spindle/router? Thanks

I have a AR4 basic and all I did was do finish pass on the spoil board. Everything is working just fine.

I will try that. I notice some faint swirl marks from .25" upcut endmill when I pocket. Swirl marks are around letters and on edge of pocket, not in open pocket areas.

The swirl marks are normal as far as I know. Even after I surfaced my spoil board they show up when cutting a pocket. They are so faint, lightly sanding removes them in quick order.
I use a dremel tool with 1" 3M Radial bristle sanding discs like this www.ebay.com/itm/3M-RADIAL-BRISTLE-DISCS-80-GRIT-1-YELLOW-BRISTLE-BRUSH-PACK-of-24-Discs/201397341704?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
They work real great for getting the fuzzies off and working in tight spaces.
No matter how good these machines are, we still have to sand something.

My controller didn't have the file. Chad emailed it to me. I resurfaced and no more swirls.
