GIBS ADJUSTMENT
The gib act as a sliding interface between two slide faces. The gibs have been pre-adjusted from the manufacturer and should not require further adjustment until about after a year of operation. In order to maintain mechanical precision, the gib needs to be adjusted to maintain the correct pressure between the two slide faces. Check and adjust the gibs every year, more frequently if under heavier usage.
There are 4 gibs on this machine. Refer to the exploded view and parts list to locate the gibs below:
• X-axis gib (Part No. 33075-409), between the base and the saddle seat slide surface.
• Y-axis gib(Part No. 33075-424), between the sadle seat and worktable slide face.
• Z-axis gib (Part No. 33075-216), between column and headstock slide face.
1. Ensure the associated travel lock knobs are loose.
2. Locate the respective gib screws, there will be one on each end of the gib. Loosen one screw and tighten the other the same amount with a flat head screw driver.
3. Test the work table or head stock travel to ensure smooth but not too tight movement.
