9. Slide Ways Attention
Tapered gib strips are fitted to slideways of saddle cross-slide and
top (compound) slides so that any
slackness, which may develop can
be rectified.
Ensure that slideways are
thoroughly cleaned and lubricated
before attempting adjustment. Then
reset the gib screw and tightening the
front screw, a little at a time. Check
constantly for smooth action
throughout full slide travel; avoid over
adjustment which can result in
increased wear-rate are stiff or jerky
action. (Fig.8)
10. Cross-Slide Nut
This is adjustable for elimination of slackness, which may develop in
service. Reduce backlash by the
cap-head screw rear of the nut.
Before operating the cross-slide
several times by hand to be
sure of smooth operation
throughout travel. (Fig.9)
