I need to shim the cross slide gib on my Bridgeport. Any hard and fast requirements as to whether to use High Carbon, Low Carbon, or stainless shim stock? I know to put the shim on the opposite side of the gib from where it contacts the way. So, since it is not on the sliding side of the gib, which type can I use or does it really matter?
