I second this, and would strongly recommend it. I used to have to retram my mill every few weeks. Then I replaced the stock washer with a 1/2 inch thick steel plate that extends all the way to the edges of the column. This one change alone made a HUGE difference. Now I check the tram every few months, but end up retramming maybe once or twice a year. And the entire system seems significantly more rigid...
Just my two cents worth...
