HI guy's

happy 2 report that the adjustment to the slop in the cross slide was an easy fix…..

on my machine ..on the cross slide in the middle there are 2 Allen screw's with a tiny grub screw between them…..the center screw controls a wedge that when u screw it in, the grub screw forces the wedge between the 1/2 nut's…….

it doe's get rid of the free play but for me it did tighten the cross slide at the extremity of travel….but who care's…..

as alway's thanks 4 the help….
