When adjusting the cross slide, tailstock, saddle,
and compound rest gib screws (
Figures 100-
103
), keep in mind that the goal is to remove
sloppiness in the ways without causing the slides
to bind. Loose gibs will cause a poor finish on
the workpiece and may cause undue wear on the
slide. Over-tightening may cause premature wear
on the slide, lead screw, and nut.
The cross slide, tailstock, saddle, and compound
rest gibs use a tapered piece of iron which is held
in position by two gib screws at opposing ends
of the gib. When these opposing front and rear
gib adjustment screws are turned in opposite
directions from each other, "One screw clockwise
and the other counterclockwise, or visa versa"
the single gib will be pushed fore or aft to fill the
loose void in the way. Thus, the play in the slide is
removed. If more play is needed adjust the screws
so the gib is moved and held in the opposite direc-
tion.
