The tool post on my Enco 14X40 lathe has gone tight so I dismantled it thinking I had a swarf problem. After cleaning the dovetails and gib re-assembly has become next to impossible. The gib does not get to it,s original position and the top slide goes tight (seizes). At this point I have turned the gib over and have reassembled to a snug fit and am considering making some adapter washers/rods to adjust the gib to position the gib to a snug but smooth movement of the top slide.
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, how did you cure it?
All help will be appreciated.
