The Bridgeport saddle is an example - it's pushed in to adjust http://www.icai-online.com/table-to-saddle-gib-x-axis.html |

Hi there, Andrew, We're not talking about dovetail machine ways then? And I assume that the Bridgeport saddle itself has a corresponding taper? And if that gib controls the lateral fit, I assume that there's another to control lift (i.e. at 90 degrees)? |

Hi Pete, Here's the link to the sort of thing I am doing with tapered gibs, this is where I have got some plans for what I'm doing. http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/ty/7x10/vault/Lathes/7x10-7x12-Projects/TaperedSaddleGibs/ Bogstandard wrote up a great thread about fixing up Darren's mini-lathe, sadly all the pictures are missing, but I managed to print out the thread before the pics went down, so that helps too.
