Guide lock handle, tighten ?

[coxsox]

Hi,

I noticed my left hand guide locking handle does not tighten as much as the right hand one. Does anyone know how to adjust this, presuming underneath somewhere, but the bolt going into the knob/handle is rounded ? thanks

What machine??

Oh yeh, that may help, Morso and it’s the fence tightening knobs
Thanks

Do you mean that the thread is worn on the bolt?
If so a local engineer should be able to redo the thread.

Should you not be able to have the thread repaired then new bolts are available:

Thanks, it was more about how I take it apart, the bolt head looks rounded. Looking at the diagrams it appears that the locking handle sits over a nut on top, is it just a case of levering this handle off, I can then look at the nut/bolt tightness ?
thanks

Yes the handle just sits over the nut and the O-ring is fitted to the nut to stop it working loose but over time the handles do tend to stick themselves to the O-ring so yes a flat bladed screw driver is required to gently lever the handle off.
