How to Clean and Adjust Gibs (Y Axis) on Metal Lathe - Granite Combo Machine Cross-feed

Описание: This Video Shows How to Clean and Adjust Gibs (Y Axis) on Metal Lathe - Granite Combo Machine Cross-feed

You can remove excess movement or slop from your lathe/mill work table by cleaning and readjusting the Y axis lathe gib. Dave gives you detailed instructions on how to remove the gib and clean and lubricate the gib in preparation for returning the gib to it's slot on the underside of the lathe/mill work table.

Once the gib is replaced in the worktable you will next tighten the gib into place by sequentially tightening the gib set screws until the table is tightened and the hand wheel has some resistance, but still turns freely.

The machine that Dave is using for demonstration purposes is the Granite MAX 1324. This lathe-mill-drill combo machine sets the standard for premium quality bench top machine tools.

Putting a combination machine tool in your shop allows you to have the capabilities of a small machine shop without sacrificing too much floor space.

The Granite 3-in-1 “big machine” features and premium quality is comparable to other larger, more expensive machine tools. PLUS, you'll have three machines in one.

As Close As You’ll Get to American Made

1) US Developed and Designed: The Granite Machine was designed by our engineers in Ann Arbor, Michigan based on machine user requests.

2) Precision is far higher than other 3-in-1 knock-offs: All components are machined to tighter specs, bearings are much higher grade, and the basic design is initially higher precision.

3) Higher Quality Production: Smithy employees oversee the production and quality control process at our sister factory of more than 25 years. No other seller can make that claim.

4) Superior Features: No machine out there can match the speed and accuracy with which you can accomplish your machining tasks on a Granite machine. Other 3-in-1 combo tools on the market are NOT EVEN in the same category for quality as the Smithy line of machine tools.
