Hi all,
I just picked up a Select OB 6x26 mill and came across this gib setup in the knee when cleaning everything out. Only the top portion of this is tapered and scraped in, the rectangle aluminum just takes up space below it. There’s adjusting screws top and bottom. Is this a normal arrangement or something weird? I can tell the top part came with the machine originally, it is stamped 0103 like many of the other parts of the mill.
I ordered a replacement gib from Grizzly’s g0729 hoping it would fit but it’s a different taper. Old gib seems to be .0075 per inch and the gib from the Grizzly is .01 per inch.
