    Cool will try. Was just scared the wedge would damage the assembly on the gantry because of the leverage action. Will try again.

    Lol GES a technical term. One for me to memorize. Lol

    Posh way is to take out the clamp screw and tap the clearance hole a size larger. You can then use a jack screw down the hole to controllably open the slot. On the other hand, I have a chunky screwdriver that has one of those red arrows painted on the tip; inserted carefully you can open the slot enough without unduly loading the gantry and the marks will be in the slot and won't show...
