Hey y'all. the cross slide on this lathe is pretty cheap cast iron. This is the third one now i have replaced in 20 years. They sent the cross slide and a gib. The gib was too long (on purpose I suppose), but me not thinking things over before cutting the gib, I cut the short end off. Well, that was a bad idea, because when I installed it. I found out I should have cut the large end off, cause it sure didn't fit.
So can I get some info here, on how I should fit this new gib the right way? The second gib I ordered took 4 months to get here from China.................. I don't need that to happen again.
Thanks for y'all's help
