Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gibs are used to adjust and compensate for wear on dovetail surfaces in a machine tool. They are inserted between the dovetail surfaces of the slide and the bed of the machine and can be adjusted to maintain a tight fit as the sliding surfaces wear over time. Zerks are grease fittings, shafts are rotating components, and pumps are used to move fluid. These items are not used specifically to tighten slides as dovetail surfaces wear.
