Compound Gib—The gib on the compound has
3 screws that maintain tension on the slide. These
screws are held in place with retaining nuts. To
adjust, loosen the retaining nuts and then tighten
the screws as needed. When proper tension has
been detected by turning the hand crank on the
compound, tighten the retaining nuts while main-
taining the position of the screw with an Allen
®
wrench as in Figure 65.
Saddle Gibs—There are 4 tensioning screws for
both the front and rear saddle gibs. Before mak-
ing adjustments to the saddle gib, ensure that the
front lock lever is loose by turning it counterclock-
wise. See Figures 66 & 67. It is important the
screws are tightened evenly. A slight drag should
be detected while turning the hand crank at the
end of the lathe.
