2. Using an 8mm hex wrench, tighten the gib setscrew a small amount, then check the table by moving it up and down. Adjust the set screw as needed until the friction of the table movement is balanced between mini- mal play and ease of movement, then secure the lock nut.
Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder to adjust the tables.
3.Repeat Steps 1-2 with the outfeed table gib control (Figure 74).
