I'd be worried that you introduced an angle on that, and when you then try to clamp it to the plate it is pulling the screw out of parallel.

Congrats on the imminent kid - I've just spent most of this week in hospital with my 5 week old (he's fine now, gave us a bit of a scare and enjoyed a good long stay at hotel NHS). Difficult to work on the machine from a hospital room!
Thanks for the congrats ;)
Good to hear that you're kid is better! Its never fun to be at a hospital with small children..

I have calmed down and thought about this problem and I'm sure that you are right. Thought I was carefull with the file but you never know ;)
The bad thing about this is that it was my last stock of 20mm aluminium. Gonna screw everything apart and measure some and see if it's fixable otherwise I have to order some new metal. Maybe steel instead as the aluminium is actually feeling flimsy compared to all the steel on my machine ;)
