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 maintaining the position of the screw
wrench as in Figure 66.

Saddle Gibs—There are 4 tensioning screws for
both the front and rear saddle gibs. Before mak-

front lock lever is loose by turning it counter-
clockwise. See Figures 67 & 68. 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.
