The Bridgeport saddle is an example - it's pushed in to adjust

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.

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.

They are dovetails, but with non parallel sides - the gib strip having a corresponding angle to bring them back parallel
