Abstract Apparatus for aligning a machine tool saddle for movement along an axis of travel includes a pair of ways rigidly joined to a support structure in parallel relation with the axis of travel, each of the ways being in slideable engagement with a slot formed in the saddle. Each of the ways is provided with a face selectively angled to lie on one of the legs of an imaginary "V" positioned so as to be bisected by a plane parallel to the ways and positioned midway between them. A number of keeper blocks are inserted between the saddle and each of the angled way faces, each of the keeper blocks having an angled face in closely spaced parallel relation with one of the angled way faces. Devices are positioned between the angled faces of the keepers and their respective closed spaced angled way faces to transmit forces between the ways and the saddle through the keeper blocks to maintain the saddle in alignment with the axis of travel as the saddle is selectively moved and positioned along the axis. The devices are also adjustable to selectively space the angled faces of the keeper blocks from the angled way faces.
