Turn each of the four set screws with a hex
wrench until a slight resistance is felt. Do not
overtighten these screws.

If the cross slide is too loose, use the following procedure to tighten.
1. Loosen the rear gib
strip (not shown) approximately one turn.
2. Tighten the front gib
strip (B, Fig 22) a quarter turn. Turn the cross slide handwheel to see if the cross
