Frankenmill: Bridgeport J head onto Victoria U2

[Pete O]

I don't think that's the issue Tom although it won't hurt to lubricate the dovetails more liberally next time it is apart, but it got a thorough clean and a coating of oil when it went together this time. I think it's just the significant extra weight cantilevered that far out. Pushing upward and inward, it moved in quite freely but it's much more difficult to apply an upward vector when pulling it out. There is a gib adjustment, a parallel gib with two setscrews, I think I'll try backing that off a little next time I want to move the overarm.
