Model G0846 (Mfd. Since 02/18)
Adjusting Table Gib
The Model G0846 has a gib on the right side of
the knee that applies pressure on the elevation
way dovetail as the work table moves up and
down. It is adjustable with two set screws. The
upper set screw has a lock nut (see
Figure 36).
If the gib is too loose, the quality of boring opera-
tions will suffer because the table will have loose,
sloppy movement against the dovetails. If the gib
is too tight, it will be difficult to raise and lower the
table.
The goal of adjusting the gib is to keep the verti-
cal movement of the table snug, without excessive
looseness or binding.
