   And also use some "lube" on the threads,  I use paste wax.  Johnsons or Butchers Bowling ally wax.

   Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

   Bruce,

   Thanks for the advice on the paste wax.  I have a can of Minwax paste wax.  I assume that will work?

   Do I recall that you work for someone who sells routerbits, etc.?

   Thanks,

   It may well be metric 8 or 10 mm.I am not familiar with Teknatool but I believe it that it is similar to Multistar (which I use) and has a screw with a parallel root .So do ensure that in hard wood it is drilled to the root size precisely.It is also important that the material has a good flat surface snug to the mini faceplate .I hope this is of some assistance  Jako

   Napie and Jako,

   Have to admit this is the first time I have heard the phrase "root diameter of the screw."  Never too old to learn.  But, I figured it out and found that a 5/16" (or a 32nds less) works fine.

   Thanks for the help.
