Adjusting Gibs

The gibs control the accuracy of the table and headstock movement. During the life of your mill/ drill, you may have to adjust the gibs to remove looseness that is a result of normal wear.

The goal of gib adjustment is to remove unneces- sary looseness without causing the dovetail slides to bind. Loose gibs may cause poor finishes on the workpiece and may cause undue wear on the slides; over-tightening may cause pre-mature wear.

Each sliding dovetail on the Model G0484 has a gib that is sandwiched between two adjusting screws (see Figures 32–33for the locations of the gib adjustment screws).

Some minor components must be removed to access all the gib adjustment screws.

Adjust the gibs by loosening one screw and tight- ening the other at the opposite end until a slight drag is felt while moving the table/headstock along the dovetail slides. Then, tighten the loose screw at the other end to lock the setting in place.
