View Full Version : Miter gauge question
Bill,
Thanks for the good advice. I will put all this info in my notebook and pick your brain for more in the future. It sounds like you have forgotten more about Shopsmith repair than most of us will ever learn.

Red Loctite is easy- green is not. Red softens with just a bit of heat- green for resetting bearings and the like is a miracle. Another option from old motorcycle racing days- a bit of 3M Trim Adhesive or silicone sealant-holds them tight and no sweat un-doing it.mt

That is what I read on the loctite website; that red will come off with some heat and handtools. Not that I am going to try. I am settled just buying another nyloc screw that costs less than $1. I have a small tube of the red loctite from when I devoted most of my time working on my 455 Rocket. Have some of that 3M Trim Adhesive also. The things you collect over time...
