I've noticed the on my cross slide, the locking screw and the gib adjustment screws
all have a small free floating pin placed in the hole before the allen screw in threaded
in. This allows tightening without a screw scarring the the mating surface.
The pins (small diameter steel rods) also have an angle cut on the end that engages
the gib so as to evenly rest against the angled side of the gib. Maybe this is
common knowledge? If so, then, nevermind.
