Carriage
The carriage is held on the ways by two adjustable retaining plates that are
bolted to the bottom of the carriage.
There are several fasteners in the carriage retainers. The socket head cap
screws are used to adjust the position of the retainers. The setscrews and lock
nuts lock the adjustments in place.
To adjust the carriage retainers:
1.
Remove the right lead screw mounting bracket.
2.
Disconnect the apron by removing the two socket head cap screws through
the front of the carriage.
3.
Slide the apron to the right and off the lead screw.
4.
Loosen all the fasteners on both retainers.
5.
Snug the socket head cap screws so the carriage can move, but without
play.
6.
Snug the setscrews. Do not over tighten or you might break the retainers.
7.
While holding the setscrews from turning, tighten the lock nuts.
8.
Replace the apron.
9.
Replace the right lead screw mounting bracket.
Cross Slide Gibs
A gib is a strip of metal placed between the bearing surface of two machine
parts to ensure a precision fit and provide adjustment for wear. The mini lathe
has gibs in several places, including the cross slide.
