GIBS ADJUSTMENT
The gib act as a sliding interface between two slide faces. The gibs have been pre-adjusted from the manufacturer
and should not require further adjustment until about after a year of operation. In order to maintain mechanical
precision, the gib needs to be adjusted to maintain the correct pressure between the two slide faces. Check and
adjust the gibs every year, more frequently if under heavier usage.
There are 4 gibs on this machine. Refer to the exploded view and parts list to locate the gibs below:
• X-axis gib (Part No. 33013-036), between saddle seat and worktable slide face.
• Y-axis gib(Part No. 33013-034), between base and saddle seat slide face.
• Z-axis lower gib (Part No. 33013-045), between column and bevel center slide face.
• Z-axis upper gib (Part No. 33013-064), between column and headstock slide face.
1. To adjust each gib, first loosen the lock nuts using the M10 wrench.
2. Each gib has multiple lock nuts and set screws that need to be adjusted. Adjust the pressure by tightening or
loosening the adjustment screws using the M3 hex wrench. When properly adjusted, the gib should provide slight
resistance without contriction.
NOTE: Adjust the middle screws first, then move towards the two sides to adjust the outer screws to ensure an
even pressure. All adjustments screws should be adjusted to the same protrusion.
3. Tighten all lock nuts uniformly.
