One useful fitting common to all models of Toolmaster was an anti-backlash mechanism on the table feed screw. This was not the complex unit used on the Dial Type and other general-purpose millers, but a simple arrangement where the nut was in two parts with one end of larger diameter and threaded to accept two cap-headed screws that were used to drew it laterally against the feed screw.

All sliding surfaces were fitted with what the makers described as a headless type gib strips; these were of the ordinary tapered type - but with a socket-head screw let in flush at one end in such a way that a flange on its stem engaged with a cut-out in the strip. Adjustment could be fiddly and some effort was needed to get a good sliding fit with no play.
