A quick show and tell.

I've replaced the factory installed carriage lock that required a hex key to tighten with brass gibs that can be adjusted in 2 directions to secure the front of the carriage improving the finish on turning operations. Tightening the gib screw also locks the carriage quickly without requiring any external tool.
