I've got the S and B 1024 running well and now checking some adjustments. If I put a dial on the tool post and push it, I get .002-.003 movement on the cross slide. There is some back lash, about .008. What should be normal and what should I be looking to adjust? The gibs are tight and actually should be loosened up a little. The S and B doesn't have a tapered gib, just a row of grub screws that push against the gib. I also have .001 movement on the spindle when pushing a bat about 4" from the chuck. The cross slide issue seems more of a concern. Under a heavier cut I see some change in the DRO which led me to put the dial on the slide. There is wear on the compound screw but the compound is locked down for this test. I need to verify if some of the movement is due to the Multifix but believe the compound itself is moving as well. Thanks for the help. Dave
