Adjusting Gibs
Figure 27. Gib adjustment.
The function of the gibs is to take out play in the
table, and cross slide, and column without causing
the slides to bind. The gibs are pre-adjusted at the
factory and should not need further adjustment
until many hours of machine use. If the movement
seems too tight at first, make sure the locks are
fully released. Next, make sure the bedways are
thoroughly cleaned of rust preventative and lubri
-
cated with oil.
