    Default Found set screw bouncing around on project

    Hi guys
    Nearing the end of a project I found a set screw
    3/8" long 1/8" thick with a hex head.
    I've looked all over the machine with a mirror and flashlight
    and can't find anything like it or where it came from.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thx Jeff

    That was it, thanks.
    My bit now has little marks on it and I can't
    get it back in. Did the same thing happen to you.


    Thx Jeff

    my bit holder tip out and broke the side of my qc out


    you might want to lift up the snap collar and gently tap on the qc while turning it a little it will usually losen up and come out

    good luck
