The cross slide backlash is adjusted by loosening all four cap screws shown in Figure 122, then tightening the center set screw. This will push down on a wedge and force the leadscrew nut apart, taking up lash between the nut and leadscrew.

To adjust the backlash, remove the compound rest and loosen the four cap screws. Then, rock the cross slide handwheel back-and-forth and tighten the set screw slowly until the backlash is at approximately 0.002"–0.003" as indicated on the handwheel dial.

If you end up adjusting the nut too tight, loosen the set screw, tap the cross slide a few times with a rubber or wooden mallet, and turn the handwheel slowly back-and-forth, until the handle turns freely—then try again.

Remember to retighten the four cap screws when you are finished.
