rimmie Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Any advise ? Connecting screw on a opticlick mount. Heated up the screw to melt the lock tight, and it has rounded off when I turned it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeman Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 See if you can smash a slightly oversize torx bit into what's left, clamp the base in a drill press and using downwards pressure on the handle use a suitable spanner to turn the bit .

Woodlander Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Well done,Optilocks screws are infamous,but mainly the ring screws. Think they’ve improved them recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Left hand drill also works sometimes or machine the head off with suitable sized end mill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
