General
Gibs
The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory and should not
need further adjustment until many hours of machine use,
if ever. If the movement seems too tight, make sure that
the locks are fully released, ways are free of chips and
debris and are thoroughly lubricated with oil.
When adjusting the gibs, the goal is to take out
unnecessary play in the table 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 binding and premature wear to the
gib.
Each gib has multiple lock nuts and set screws that need
to be adjusted. Make your adjustments equally and in
small increments.
To.adjust.the.gibs,.do.these.steps:
1..
UNPLUG THE MICRO MILL!
2..
Loosen the lock nuts as shown in
Figure.31
.
3..
Move the table back-and-forth, while slightly
tightening each set screw. When properly adjusted,
the gib should offer slight resistance without binding.
4..
Tighten the lock nuts.
