I have a need for a tapered gib on my heavy 10 South bend lathe,
can I just take one from another machine and it will work on my machine
or are they custom fit on each machine and matched to the cross slide ?
Hi Ranger,
yes, you can take a gib from another SB10 and use it on your machine
you'll need to adjust it, but it should work fine
they can be scraped in for the best fit, but can made to work regardless
