Due to normal wear and break in, the column ways and |
|
|
the headstock gib will eventually have to be readjusted. |
|
|
To adjust the headstock gib, do these steps: |
|
|
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER! |
| Column |
|
| |
2. Clean and lubricate the column leadscrew, gib, and |
| Way |
ways. |

3. Loosen the gib jam nuts shown in Figure 60. | Gib | Wrench |
|

4. Using a 4mm hex wrench, adjust the upper and lower |
|
|
gib screws in an alternating fashion until a slight |
|
|
drag is detected in the headstock slide when the |
|
|
handwheel is cranked. |
|
|
5. Tighten the lock nuts. | Gib Jam |

NOTICE |
|
|
When adjusting gibs, the goal is to remove unneces- |
|
|
sary sloppiness or binding from the headstock as it is |
|
|
slid up and down on the column. A loose gib will allow |
|
|
the headstock to vibrate and the knives to chatter. | Figure 60. Gib locations. | |
An overly tight gib will prematurely wear the column |
|
|
and leadscrew. |
