My old Bashlins are tight as a mouses ear .Of course they are one piece and I haven't used them in 20 years and doubt I ever do again .Moot point .:lol:

Well I just looked them up. On the Buckinghams they are in fact grade eights just as I thought .Evidently number 10-32 bolts because they take a 5/32" inch allen wrench .Tighten to 136 inch pounds . By the looks of the screws they are a long tapered flat head screw .Similar to what is used on...

Are you suggesting then that they would intentionally install grade 2 screws in a potentially dangerious apparatus that if they failed could cause serious injury or death .I doubt that very seriously .

If they are countersunk flat head screws you could be bottoming out the screws . The fix would be to install some special countersunk lock washers . Geeze this stuff is a hard as trying to troubleshoot a saw at long range when you can't see it .
