ABSTRACT:
A machine tool bed has guideway rails. A slide is mounted to the rails and has gib blocks spaced along the length of the slide and engaging the rails. The gib blocks are spring loaded to maintain them engaged with the guide rails at all times to provide zero-clearance between gibs and rails. The gib blocks are provided with backing surfaces at self-locking angles such as to avoid displacement of the gib blocks under loading, and maintain constant zero-clearance.
