the gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory but due
to storage, break-in, and usage, may require
adjustment. if movement seems too tight at first,
make sure that all waxy rust preventative coating
is removed from the ways, lubricate them with oil,
and work the table back-and-forth several times
until the movement is loosened.

until the movement is loosened.
the gibs are adjusted by turning the large slotted
screwheads in the front and right side of the table
base until you feel a slight drag when you turn the
handwheels. the screw at the front of the machine
affects movement from front to back. the screw
under the right side of the table affects longitudi-
nal movement. you can loosen the screws if your
table movement seems excessively stiff.

Gib adjustment screw locations.
to adjust the y-axis leadscrew:
1. Access the underside of the base through the
hole in the bench under the base.
2. locate the adjuster midway along the
leadscrew, inside the base.
3. tighten the set screw on the adjuster.
4. test the adjustment by turning the front
handwheel. you should detect between
0.002" and 0.008" of play.
0.002" and 0.008" of play.
leadscrew backlash
When you turn the handwheels to adjust the posi-
tion of the table, you will notice slight play (back-
lash) in the handwheel before the table begins to
move. if this play is greater than 0.008" (measured
with the dial at the base of each handwheel), then
you will need to adjust the leadscrews.

you will need to adjust the leadscrews.
these adjusters may require you to fabricate
extensions for your hex wrenches. Make adjust-
ments in small increments. over-tightening to
attempt to reduce backlash to less than 0.003" is
impractical and will add unnecessary wear to both
the leadscrews and the adjusters.

to adjust the X-axis leadscrew:
1. locate the X-axis leadscrew adjuster under
