Q: Mini Mill Gib Replacement? | | Hello.
I've finally gotten moved into my new house and it's time to pick up the conversion again.
With that said.
I've tried and tried to adjust the play out of my lil mini mill. I'm beginning to wonder if they might be a problem with the gibs. Or possibly the table?
Is there a proper way to tighten the gibs. I've attempted a couple different ways of screwing it all the way to one motion then tightening, then moving it to the other end of it's motion and tightening. Also I've moved it to the middle and adjusted it while moving back and forth slowly.
It will be nice and smooth at one end of it's motion and bind/stiff at the other. When I adjust out the stiffness, there will be a slight side to side play in the table that I don't like.
Slightly frustrating to be getting stuck on something that would appear to be very minor. *shrugs* |
