Compound Gib—The gib on the compound has 3 screws that maintain tension on the slide. These screws are held in place with retaining nuts. To adjust, loosen the retaining nuts and then tighten the screws as needed. When proper tension has been detected by turning the hand crank on the compound, tighten the retaining nuts while maintaining the position of the screw with an Allen® wrench as in Figure 66.

Saddle Gibs—There are 4 tensioning screws for both the front and rear saddle gibs. Before mak- ing adjustments to the saddle gib, ensure that the front lock lever is loose by turning it counter- clockwise. See Figures 67 & 68. It is important the screws are tightened evenly. A slight drag should be detected while turning the hand crank at the end of the lathe.
