...but gosh darnit, when I pay $95 for a scope base, I don't expect the mfgr to send me 1¢ Chinese screws that BREAK below 22 inch-pounds...in the middle of an epoxy bedding job. (It's not the mfgr I mentioned in another thread when I asked about bases...long story.)
All I have to say is, I hope there's enough screw left to grab hold of after the epoxy hardens tomorrow or I may
Am I expecting too much?
Mods, if this is OT or against the rules, please delete. I just had to vent.
EDITED TO ADD: If the screw is broken off flush or below flush, how do I get it out? I don't think I could drill it without annealing it first, since it's apparently harder than the hammers of Hades. How is this normally done? Do you heat it with something to anneal/soften it so you can drill...or what?
GRRRR
