Has anyone had any problems with the 4 hex socket screws that hold the fench alingment (824347-2 Screw Hex Soc 1/4-20X3/4 )?

When I first assemble the saw and adjusted the fence, I struggled with one starting to strip or round out the hex socket.

Today I got out my new dial indicator to fine tune my saw and now I have two stripped heads both of which I have no idea how to get them out to replace them.

Jake, I'm really disapointed with the quality of these screws. I hope mine are the exception to the lot.

Ranger,

If the heads are completely stripped, you'll need to drill them out so the head seperates from the threads. Email me and I will send you 4 new screws and nuts.
