Vice play adju stment
Any play that develops between the s lideway and the slide gib on the vice must be
compensated by adjusting the grub screws regulating the distance between the gib
and the lead screw, proceeding as follows:
" slacken all the locknuts on the grub screws, using a hexagonal key to hold the
screws still;
" Open the vice to its full extension;
" adjust the slight pressure exerted by the grub screws on the gib, starting with
the first two in contact with the lead screw;
" after adjusting the two grub screws, tighten the locknut, holding the grub
screws with the hexagonal key;
" close the vice until two more grub screws are in the same position as the first
two previ ously;
" repeat the operation on the gib grub screws on all the slideway grub screws;
