I have a master 2500 and whilst boring an interupted cut I noticed the main saddle moving so I decided to try and adjust the gib strip.
I pushed it out after removing both screws that adjust it.
I pushed it towards the headstock. But it seems like it should come out the other way in the manual.
That said the thick part of the strip was nearest the chuck. So it seems it would only come out that way. Sadly I can't get it back in. I can't remember if it came out with the taper vertical or horizontal as it does not fit with way. Plus there is a silver clip blocking it going in ..even if it did fit. ;(
