Arrgg. The Sherline base is not symetric.

I don’t know where the assembly feature is yet with Freecad.  Basically I’m still just practising by modeling the components of my old sherline mill.   This probably not the way to to this, but I basically copy and renamed the sherline base file, deleted everything except the sketch and started sketching the top saddle.  All of a sudden I notice that I’m way off on some dimensions.   I had it in my head that the base was symmetric which when you look at it it’s clearly not.  Duhhhh.
Luckily I was just a couple of lines in when I discovered this.
I should be easy to fix this hopefully,
