The last batch I got from CDCO the hex rounded out in half of them on the first tightening. Now I just bin them straight out of the box and keep a large bag of set screws and studs on hand from McMaster as replacements.
I also chase all the threads in the holders before installing the new hardware. It's like a rock quarry down in those holes.
tools4cheap is looking better all the time.
Willy,
The set screws I was talking about are the long M10x1.0 not the short M10x1.5. The long ones are the ones the nuts thread on to hold the toolholder at the proper height.
Oops! I should have read one more post before responding. Steve beat me to it.
