 Hi CS

On the right side of the milling table you will find a worm which is secured by a screw. Release the screw somewhat and than you will be able to move the gib by turning the worm. Maybe it is a good idea to remove the gib first and clean it and check it for burrs. Do you have the manual of the F3? All the adjustments are " in the book".

good luck,

Teun

Lemme hijac this thread.. ;)

Im in the process to buy one of these machines as well.. Its an old machine used by a.. somewhat inventor/tinkerer.. seems to be in really good condition.. but one thing is missing.. The Drawbar for the horizontal spindle.. Anyone have a picture of this and can take some measurements?? Im guessing i have a ISO30 spindle on mine cause its sold in sweden.. But the measurements should be the same..if im gonne buy this i need to make sure the horizontal drive is working as well.. Cause its why i buy it. ;)
