Adjusting Gibs
Adjustment of the table gibs allows you to control the
amount of play in the table movement, which determines
how easy the tables move up and down.
Both tables have their own gibs that function and adjust
in the same manner.
Note:
Poorly lubricated sliding ways, or those that
become gummed-up with dust/oil, will often feel similar
to an over-tightened gibs. Table movement can often be
improved by simply cleaning/lubricating the sliding ways
regularly. We recommend that you do this prior to making
any adjustments.

To adjust table gibs, do these steps:
1.
Loosen both jam nuts on the gib screws shown in
Figure 70
.
2.
Oil gibs if needed (refer to
Page 38
).
3.
Evenly tighten gib set screws a small amount, then
check table by moving it up and down. Adjust set
screws as needed until table movement is free of
friction and is balanced with minimal play and ease
of movement.
Note:
Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder to
adjust tables.
