To adjust the cross slide gibs:
1.
Loosen the three lock nuts on the side of the cross slide.
2.
Slightly loosen all three setscrews on the side of the cross slide.
3.
Snug each setscrew equally. This will lock the cross slide in position.
4.
Loosen each setscrew 1/8 turn to allow the cross slide to move.
5.
While holding the setscrews from turning, tighten the lock nuts.
6.
Test by turning the handle. Loosen or tighten all the setscrews the same
amount until the cross slide moves freely, but without play in the dovetail.
Cross Slide Nut
The cross slide nut is adjustable to remove free play from the cross slide feed
handle.
The three screws in the top of the cross slide adjust the cross slide nut.
The two outer screws tip the nut off horizontal to reduce the endplay in the
threads. The center screw locks the adjustment in place.
To adjust the cross slide nut:
1.
Loosen all three screws.
2.
Tighten the outside setscrews until you just start to feel resistance turning
the set screw.
3.
Loosen the near set screw and tightened the center screw until you just
start to feel resistance turning the cap crew. At this point the bottom
threads of the nut should be touching the lead screw at the far end, and the
top threads of the nut should be touching the lead screw at the near end.
4.
Tighten the front set screw.
5.
Check the adjustment.
•
If the feed screw is too hard to turn, loosen the front set screw a little
and then tighten the center cap screw.
•
If the feed screw is too easy to turn and you have excessive backlash,
loosen the center cap screw a little and then tighten the front set screw.
