pound slide way wiper to access the gib and gib
screw.

—To decrease the slide tension, loosen the
gib screw
1
⁄8 turn.
5. Repeat adjustments as necessary until the
gib screw drag is acceptable.
6. To set the rear gib stop screw, remove the
rear cover (see Figure 130), tighten the gib
stop screw against the gib, then re-install the

Rear Cover
The saddle gib is located on the bottom of the
back edge of the cross slide (see Figure 132).
This gib is designed differently than the cross or
compound slide gibs. Instead of being a wedge-
shaped plate, it is a flat bar. The gib pressure is
applied by four set screws. Hex nuts secure these
set screws in place, so they will not loosen during
operation.
