Re: grizzli mini-mill: hard slides

These don't really come set up at all. On mine, I removed all the screws
and snugged the gibs with just a bit of Vactra oil and slid them end to
end. I found spots where they tended to drag worse than other spots and
honed those a little. After a while the slideways worked pretty well.
