Adjusting Vise Gib
The vise gib adjustment affects the friction
between the sliding surfaces of the vise.
Tightening the gib too much will make it hard to
adjust the vise and cause excessive wear on the
slide. Loosening the gib too much will make the
vise clamping and movements sloppy.

feel resistance from vise slide, gib may
need to be loosened. Proceed to Step 4.

Adjusting Blade Brush
The Model SB1122 has a blade brush to help
keep metal chips off the blade wheels. It will
wear over time and require re-adjustment when
it no longer contacts the blade. Eventually,
the brush will require replacement. This is
considered a normal wear item and not covered
by warranty.
