General
Each sliding dovetail on the Model M1008/M1009 has a
gib that is sandwiched between two adjustment screws
(see
Figures 47-49
for the locations of one end of each
adjustment screw). Some minor components must be
removed to access all the gib adjustment screws. Adjust
the gibs by loosening one screw and tightening the other
at the opposite end until a slight drag is felt while moving
the table/spindle along the dovetail slides; then tighten
the loose screw at the other end to lock the setting in
place.
Note:
The M1009 spindle support adjusts along the
dovetail slide by a clamping system (see
Figure 50
).
Gibs
NOTICE
When adjusting gibs, the goal of gib adjustment is to
remove unnecessary sloppiness without causing the
slides to bind. Loose gibs may cause poor finishes
on the workpiece and may cause undue wear on the
slide. Over-tightening may cause premature wear.
