Posting just because I didn't see a lot of this kind of fix wondering if it's because it's a bad idea or if it's just not done much.
I've got some screws that stripped on the starter housing see image below
Where I work we've got tons of these little heat-set inserts
Gonna try using those. I know the plastic is able to melt and it'll hold the insert well enough, what I don't know is if the threads in the brass are going to allow the screws to vibrate loose while the saw runs. Thinking of putting some Loctite 222 (Purple) on it just to ensure that it won't vibrate out, but can still be disassembled with regular tools
Has anyone used heat-set inserts to fix their saws in the past? let me know what you think...
