    Y axis moves minus but not plus

    There is an older Bridgeport machine here and a few days ago the Y axis stopped moving plus. The handle still turns. For a time you could pull the table forward with your hands? Please advise, thanks.

    I guess the gib was clogged with chips so I removed the shim and cleaned it all out, works fine now.

    Thanks.
