A rectangular vertical chute of small section, with a bottom sloping down to a door in the front, is the worst possible for sticky ores. The small section increases side friction and favors arching. The weight of the column of ore packs it tightly into the wedge-shaped section at the bottom, particularly when it falls as a mass after hanging up.

Don't too worked up over tramming your mill. It's good to do, and the practice to get it perfect never hurts. But, you won't ever get it perfect. And it won't stay that way. Best you can ever do is say it's dialed right with that collet, with the knee and saddle in that particular position, on that particular day.

Tram is the squareness of your mill head to the table and Tramming is the act of adjusting the mill head to be square. There is tram parallel to the x-axis, and tram parallel to the y-axis (sometimes called "nod"). Depending on your machine, you may have a swivel head that is designed to cut at angles other than square for more flexibility.

On Vertical Mills, the 4th Axis is frequently parallel to X or Y, and is laid down. On a Horizontal Mill, the 4th Axis is also parallel to X or Y, but it is standing up. Both methods work great, but the horizontal mill's standing 4th axis frequently has more clearance available since the work is never trapped between the table and the axis.
