SLIDE WAYS ATTENTION
Tapered gib strips are fitted
to-.slideways of saddle crossslide
and top (compound) slides
so that any slackness which may
develop can be rectified.
Ensure that slideways are
thououghly cleaned and lubricated
before attempting adjustment.
Then reset the gibs by slackening
the rear gib screw and tightening
the front screw. Check
constantly for smooth action
throughout full slide travel.
Avoid over-adjustment which can
result in increased wear-rate
and stiff or jerky action
