Occasionally, it may be necessary to readjust various components in order to maintain optimum
performance. The adjustments that may be performed are as follows:
The cross-slide is mounted on a dovetail slide, as shown below. Between the sloping surfaces on
one side of the dovetail, a
ib strip is inserted, which may be tightened against the dovetail under
the influence of three adjuster, or ib screws , mounted along it len t .
The ib screws are to be found on the right hand side of the slide, directly beneath the compound
slide handle. ln time, wear will occur on the mating surfaces resulting in a
sloppiness of action.
To adjust the ib strip, account for wear , and ensure the slide moves evenly and smoothly,
proceed as follows:
1.
Loo en all lock nuts and screw in the
ib screws evenly, i.e. use the same torque
for each screw. The slide should be held
firmly. Test by trying to turn the handle, but
do not force it.
2. Screw out each ib screw by one quarter of
a turn only, and
nu up the lock nuts.
3. Test again, by turning the handle the
movement should be even and smooth
along its complete length.
4. lf the movement is too slack, screw all adjusters
in by one eighth of a turn, and re-try.
Similarly, if the movement is too stiff, screw out the adjusters by one eighth of a turn until the
correct adjustment is attained.
5. Tighten all lock nuts
, taking care to ensure you do not move the ib screws whil e doing so.
6. When completed, retract the slide fully and apply oil to all mating surfaces and the feed screw
thread, then wind the slid
e back to its normal position.
The cross-slide feed should run smoothly, and the scale must rotate with the handle.
lf any stiffness occurs, it is probably the result of
e r lodging between the mating surfaces.
Undo the screw securing the handwheel. Remove the handwheel and pull off the collar
with the scale
, taking great are to reta n t e all pr n plate w t n a roo e
beneath the collar.
Clean the assembly and reassemble n reverse order. l
t will be necessary to hold the spring plate
in place with a small screwdriver, or similar tool, w le pushing down on it to allow the collar to be
correctly located on to the shaft .
The tailstock lo e by two screw . en t e rew are loose ne , the tailstock can moved left or r t.
en lock e own, t e ta l to can e fixed any position alon the bed way.

C. TAILSTOCK ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE:
lt is important that the cross-slide and compound slide adjustments are
a e correctly and that
there is no sloppiness of action. Any maladjustment will have a serious effect on the quality of
your work, as they will all be transferred to the tool tip. lt is vital that there is as little movement of
the tool as possible.
