Adjusting Gibs (Dovetail Slides) Free Play
Periodically check, lubricate and adjust as necessary. When
adjusting the gib strips the following procedure must be followed.
• Using the supplied 3mm Hex Key loosen slightly the 3 cap
screws.
(Fig 12(A)
shows 1 of the cap screws).With all 3 cap
screws loosened, ensure that the main slide is at the lowest
position.
• Using the 2 mm Hex Key supplied turn the lower and middle
adjusting screws to eliminate any free movement.
(Fig 12 (B)
shows 1 of the adjusting screws).
• Move the main slide upwards until its top edge is level with the
top of the dovetail slide way. Turn the upper adjusting screw to
take up any free movement.
• Operate the crank handle to move the slide up and down. There
should be no free play, yet no binding anywhere throughout the
range of travel.
• If necessary repeat the above procedure several times to
ensure that all free movement has been eliminated and that the
machine head moves up and down freely without any binding
and without any side to side movement.
• Re-tighten the 3 cap screws when adjustment is complete.
