Cross Slide Gib
Make sure the ways and leadscrew have been
cleaned and re-lubricated before beginning any
adjustments. Refer to Ball Oiler Lubrication on
Page 65 for instructions and lubricant specifica-
tions.
To adjust the cross slide gib:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the set screw shown in Figure 123.
3. Adjust the gib screws as follows:
—To increase the slide tension, loosen the
rear gib screw
1
⁄8 turn, and tighten the front
gib screw
1
⁄8 turn.
—To decrease the slide tension, loosen the
front gib screw
1
⁄8 turn, and tighten the rear
gib screw
1
⁄8 turn.
4. Repeat adjustments as necessary until the
gib screw drag is acceptable.
Saddle Gib
The saddle is supplied with a carriage lock on the
front right-hand side of the slide (see Figure 125).
This bolt locks the saddle in place for increased
rigidity when making face cuts. Before making
adjustments to the saddle gib, make sure that this
lock is loose by turning it counterclockwise one
full turn.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the carriage lock
more than a couple of turns or the components
inside will come apart. Re-installing these compo-
nents is difficult and time consuming.
Compound Slide Gib
Figure 124 shows the gib location on the com-
pound slide. The compound slide gib adjusts in
the same manner and with the same tools as the
cross slide gib. However, in this case, to increase
or decrease tension, the gib adjustment screw
directions are reversed.
