Re: Stripped Gib Screw Solution??


 

Hi Herb,
I have had the same problem. I have replaced the screws with normal M4
cap head screws. You have to turn the tips of the screws down to match
the normal gib screws.
Kind regards

I'm in the process of "lapping" in my dove tails etc and have
discovered that one of the gib screw heads are stripped out where the
allen wrench goes into it. The threads are fine, it's just that the
allen wrench just spins in it. Can I "slot" it with a small dremel
wheel so that a slotted screw driver will work on it? Or should I
just
order a new one? thanks, Herb W.
