1.
Use mineral spirits and a clean, lint-free
rag to clean mating surfaces of gap, bed,
and ways. If necessary, stone-dress mating
surfaces to remove scratches, dings, or burs.
2.
Wipe a thin layer of light machine oil on
mating surfaces.
3.
Place gap insert into gap and use a dead-
blow hammer to align insert with lathe bed.
4.
Back off dowel pin jack nut, and lightly
tap dowel pin back into its hole until it is
seated. This process will further help align
gap insert and bed mating surfaces.
5.
Install all fasteners and lightly snug them in
place.
6.
Mount a dial indicator with a magnetic base
to top of saddle to indicate alignment.
Installing Gap Insert
7.
On the machined surfaces where the gap
meets the bedways shown in Figure 94,
make sure the two surfaces are flush mating
between the gap and bedways.

While making sure flushness is maintained,
tighten gap bed cap screws in an alternating
manner.
Note:
While tightening gap fasteners, use
a wooden mallet to tap gap insert into
alignment if required.
9.
Inspect gap alignment 24 hours later to
make sure gap is still aligned. If necessary,
loosen gap bed cap screws and repeat Steps
7–8 until insert is properly aligned.
