Is it possible to remove the bits shipped with the unit? I have striped three alen wrenches trying to remove the set screws

Yes, just apply a bit of heat to break down the lock-tite. BTW, you can use the 'Search' function and find ansers like this. Sometimes it takes a few tries when your not sure what to search for but it works great.

Saw a tip in the latest wood working mag to epoxy the Allen wrench into the stripped head and let it set up. Remove the screw with the stripped screw head and remove the epoxy screw with a flame. I stripped my first 2 screws before reading in the forum to use heat. Yes, I could use vice grips too.
