Half Nut Adjustment
The half-nut mechanism can be adjusted if it
becomes loose from wear. The half nut is mount-
ed in ways with a gib exerting pressure between
the components to reduce sloppy movement. The
half-nut gib is a flat bar-type gib, similar to the
saddle gib, and is tensioned with two set screws.

2. Disengage half nut and remove thread dial.
3. Loosen hex nuts on set screws shown in
Figure 115.
4. Tighten each set screw approximately

of a
turn, then retighten the hex nuts without mov-
ing the set screws.
5. Move carriage handwheel until half nut can
fully close, then open/close half nut several
times and notice how it feels. The half nut is
correctly adjusted when you feel a slight drag
while opening and closing it. It should not feel
too stiff or too loose.
6. Repeat Steps 3–5, if necessary, until you
are satisfied with half nut adjustment, then
re-install thread dial.

After initial break in, the V-belts stretch slightly
and seat into the pulley. It is important to check
and adjust them to compensate for this initial
wear. Check the tension thereafter on a monthly
basis. If the belts become excessively worn or
damaged, replace them as a matched set.
