What the SLIDE PIECE does
Guides and slides hold a moving component on its intended path — the drifter on the feed beam, or a shaft within its housing. They are wear surfaces by design, made to be replaced rather than to last.
Signs it needs replacing
- Play or rattle between the moving part and its track
- Uneven or stepped wear along the guide face
- Hole deviation that cannot be corrected by setup
- Accelerated wear on the components the guide is meant to align
Before you fit it
Replace guides as a matching set and reset the clearance to specification. Running worn guides puts the whole drill string out of line, and the cost shows up in rods and bits long before anyone blames the guide.
General guidance for this class of component. Always work to the torque figures, clearances and service intervals in your machine's own manual.
