I would not ever force the screw. That is just asking for problems. Off the shaft and on the table, run it in until it resists turning and then back out.

The last thing I would want is phillips, and then second last would be slotted screws. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
