A little hijack here about cone screws. These have a plastic button that acts as a dampener so the screw stays put. Once used it no longer has sufficient grip to hold the screw in place therefore new ones are recommended.
I purchase a bag of 1/8" nylon balls. Very cheap? 100 cost about the same as one cone screw. Heat the old screw and the plastic button will pop out easily. Put the nylon ball in the hole and press in place using a vise. When screwing on place, some of the ball will be cut off and it will seem that it is not working but I have found out it is working and it is only the excess being cut off. I never need to get new screws! |
