3. Repeat adjustments as necessary until gib
screw drag is acceptable.
Saddle Gib
The saddle is supplied with a carriage lock on the
front right-hand side of the slide (see
Figure 121).
This bolt locks the saddle in place for increased
rigidity when making face cuts. Before making
adjustments to the saddle gib, make sure that this
lock is loose by turning it counterclockwise one
full turn.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the carriage lock
more than a couple of turns or the components
inside will come apart. Re-installing these compo-
nents is difficult and time consuming.
Compound Slide Gib
Figure 120 shows the gib location on the com-
pound slide. The compound slide gib adjusts in
the same manner and with the same tools as the
cross slide gib. However, in this case, to increase
or decrease tension, the gib adjustment screw
directions are reversed.
