GIB STRIP ADJUSTMENT
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Adjustment of Table Gib
The table is provided with a full length tapered gib
in the saddle, and an adjusting screw on the left side
(see Figure 3.10). To take up gib, tighten gib
adjusting screw slightly and repeat until a slight drag
is felt when moving the table by hand.
Adjustment of Saddle and Knee Gibs
A tapered gib is used for adjusting the saddle
bearing on the knee. This forms a guide for the
saddle. To tighten gib, the same principle as
described above is used; however, the chip wiper
has to be removed first (see Figure 3.11).
