Stop tramming your spindle with the table, use the column face instead

After 4 years running a Haas VF-2 at a shop outside Toledo, I've seen three guys waste a whole shift chasing .001" off because they trammed off a table with old chips stuck in the T-slots, so why not clamp your indicator to the spindle and sweep the column's machined face, or has anyone else found that gives way more repeatable results?

Heard a toolmaker swear by that trick at a demo years back, said it never let him down.
