Two cups of coffee and a whole bunch of searching later, I'm giving in and posting.
I'm having trouble adjusting/reinstalling the tapered gib on the crossfeed.
The manual for this puppy has no detail to it at all.
One of the Fathead screws was missing so I fabbed a replacement. I have that at the dial end and the original at the far end.
Thick end of the taper is at the dial end. -Have I at least got that right?
Gib does have a slight bow to it.
When cranking back towards the dial from center the gib is escaping the screw at the far end.
What the devil is the procedure for setting one of these?
I searched and found a bunch on mills but nada on crossfeed.
I am, by gosh going to make some chips today (maybe...) with a bunch of help.
Thanks,
_Dan
