Morning all I have a little adept no1 which has arrived with a slittle slop in the piston dovetail slideway (I'm sure is has a more technical name for it but bear with) evidenced by the tool lifting through the cut and the fact I can feel the play.

Is there a method to adjusting such things? I'm familiar with locknut arrangements but not sure how best approach adjusting 4 of the things to make it run smoothly along its length.

I am pretty confident based on condition this is adjustment rather than wear
