BANG it went, then I made a discovery

[RobinParticipant @robin]

Milling machine bed upside down on the table, Idly power feeding when BANG. Sounded expensive but it was just one of those screws that adjust the Gibbs. The Gibb hit an immovable object and something had to give

Looking for an easy fix I discovered that if you drill a half-inch hole and press hard enough, you can drive the head of an M8 socket head set screw into it and it and it will never come out again. The two parts become one with minimal effort.

Looks great. I am ordering M8 x 30 Low head screws to try next. May change them all.

I know it is not much as hints and tips go, but you guys are so much cleverer than me the bar is set a bit high. I'm doing my best

You were lucky to break the screw and not the gib, now you need one of those screwdrivers with a ball end hex end.

Slight pause while I pop the Gib out for a quick check, all in one piece
