Aluminium Profile Type Router - Initial questions

Thanks Andy , just trying to decide whether to try and straighten bent screw , use a diff weight screw or get an exact replacement from Fred ! Bit of a pain really but with the effort gone in so far I do want it to be right . Not sure I have the setup to straighten it but not much to lose on that !

Have you tried to run the machine with the bent screw yet.? If not you may be surprised how much of a bend can be tolerated. Esp on a machine that isn't massively long.!!

Did the 15mm screw come from Fred.? . . . I've never seen a 15mm screw that's sold as a 16mm.!
