Model G4002/G4003 (Mfg. Since 8/12)

Saddle Gib - the saddle is supplied with a square
head bolt on the front right hand side of the slide.
Before making adjustments to the saddle gib,
ensure that this bolt is loose by turning it counter
clockwise. see
figure 33.
it is important that the apron gib be properly
adjusted. A loose gib will cause finish problems in
a workpiece. A gib adjusted too tightly will cause
premature wear.
the gib for the saddle is located on the bottom
of the back edge of the slide. the tension on
this gib is maintained by four setscrews with jam
nuts. By loosening the jam nuts and tightening
the setscrews, the gib will tighten. loosening the
setscrews will loosen the gib. the gib strip is prop-
erly adjusted when a slight drag is detected while
moving the apron. do not over tighten.
it is important the 4 setscrews are tightened
evenly. When tightening the jam nuts, hold the
setscrew’s position using an Allen® wrench.
Steady/follow Rest
To adjust the Steady Rest:
1. loosen the lock nuts. see figure 34.
2. open the sliding fingers by turning the knurled
screws until they fit around the workpiece.
secure the steady rest in position.
3. tighten the knurled screws so that the fingers
are snug, but not tight against the workpiece.
tighten the setscrews and the lock nuts.
4. lubricate the brass points with machine oil.
the Follow rest is setup in the same manner
except that the place of the third finger is taken
up by the tool bit. the follow rest prevents long,
small diameter pieces from flexing under the cut-
ting pressure from the tool bit.
