SERVICE

General

This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine. Always disconnect your machine from the power source before performing any service!

If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 or send e-mail to: tech-support@shopfox.biz.

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Gibs

The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory and should not need further adjustment until many hours of machine use, if ever. If the movement seems too tight, make sure that the locks are fully released, ways are free of chips and debris and are thoroughly lubricated with oil.

When adjusting the gibs, the goal is to take out unnecessary play in the table and cross slide without causing the slides to bind. Loose gibs may cause poor finishes on the workpiece and may cause undue wear on the slide. Over-tightening may cause premature wear to the gib.

Adjust the gibs by a combination of loosening or tightening the adjustment screws until a slight drag is felt while moving the table/knee along the dovetail slides. There are two adjustment screws, one on each end of the gib (see Figures 29-31for the locations of the adjustment screws). The chip wiper guards must be removed to access some of the gib adjustment screws.
