Fadal gibs. How hard are they to adjust?

Houndogforever · May 3, 2020

I swear there is a loose gib in the Upper RH corner of the table.

I've never seen one of the gibs, nor ever adjusted one. How hard is it to get to it?

What shields do I need to remove to get to them?

Thanks guys
Jon

All the Fadal manuals are online. There is a whole section on gib adjustment. You need a .0001 indicator and a 1/4” socket. It’s pretty easy

Here’s a version not from the manual, but similar

Based on the pictures, I'm thinking it will be all of the sliding chip shields that need to come off and at that point it's just a matter of standing on your head inside the chip pan.
