Re: Stripped Gib Screw Solution??

Sure, you can slot it! You can use a dremel or a thin hacksaw. Of course,
you will need 2 tools to adjust the gibs from now on, unless you slot all
the adjusting screws..

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.
