NOTICE
When adjusting gibs, keep in mind that the
goal of gib adjustment is to remove unnec-
essary sloppiness from the slide without
causing binding and excessive half nut
wear.
Tip:The compound and cross slide gibs have a
gib lock screw that are shown in Figures 95 –96.
This screw allows the machinist to quickly tighten
the locks to hold a gib and slide in a rigid position
without having to tighten the gibs. When finished
with the need for increased rigidity, the gibs then
are quickly unloaded back to their normal state by
loosening the screw.
