[QUOTE="Brushwacker, post: 7443160, member: 10667"] Lot of people don't know before you screw those screws used in plastic downward, you should turn the screw outward to allow it to drop in the original threads otherwise they easily catch the side of the hole and rethread or tap another thread inside the originals. The more it happens, the weaker the threads become until their shot. Prevention is the easiest solution however it doesn't always happen, especially when you work on preowned saws. You fellows have lots of good ways mentioned here to make or recondiition those boogered up threads to work again. I usually looked for a bigger, self tapping screw when i run into that. [/QUOTE]
