Post by: harryk3616 on January 16, 2013, 03:56:24 AM
hi    guy's      got another problem,  i have two jigmaster chrome rings giving me a problem,  when i insert the handle side plate,  i can't rotate it enough to be able to screw in the locking thumb screw,  any ideas, is it because it's maybe foreign?   ,    thanks    harryk

sometimes it's the receiving end that is the problem.  you can open up the "tabs" a little with a small screwdriver.

As long as you were posting about Jig Masters. What size is the thumb screw?
