Figure 128 shows the gib location on the com-
pound slide. The compound slide gib adjusts in
the same manner and with the same tools as the
cross slide gib. However, in this case, to increase
or decrease tension, the gib adjustment screw
directions are reversed.

Saddle Gib
The saddle is supplied with a carriage lock on the
front right-hand side of the slide (see Figure 129).
This bolt locks the saddle in place for increased
rigidity when making face cuts. Before making
adjustments to the saddle gib, make sure that this
lock is loose by turning it counterclockwise one
full turn.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen carriage lock more
than a couple of turns or components inside will
come apart. Re-installing these components is
difficult and time consuming.
