The term "gib" in the context of machine tools refers to a component primarily used for adjusting the contact surface between the slide and the tool rest. As wear progresses, it can lead to play, and the "gib adjustment" is employed to address this issue.

The "gib" is a slender component situated within the mechanism of the machine tool. It plays a crucial role in adjusting the contact surface between the slide and the tool rest by tightening or loosening the adjustment screws located on this interface. This helps eliminate any play caused by wear over prolonged usage, ensuring the precise operation of the machine.
