Hoping someone can chime in on this - I'm in the reassembly stage of a total rebuild on my 1945 era 10L. The bed, saddle & cross slide were all planed and scraped in. I have had to shim the gearbox, & lead screw bearing unit down to account for the reduction in height. That has gone perfectly - however, I can not find any specification on the required/recommended clearance for the saddle gib. I have had opinions offered that say "loose" is fine as it only prevents the rear of the saddle from lifting - other have said "tight enough" so that there is minimal movement - i.e. just enough to allow the saddle to move along the ways.
What say the experts?
TIA
