[NSRCA-discussion] AMA Article on Wayne's Wheel Pants

[Ronald Van Putte]

ROFL?  Some might think it's Rolling On the Floor Laughing, but for some it's more appropriate as Really Old Fart Laughing.  Take your pick.

Sometimes I tell them that it's none of their $#@! business, but that response is apparently unsatisfactory to some.  I need a "middle ground" answer.

I think they’re called “truss-head” screws. Yes they are slightly heavier (not much I think it’s only about 1~2 grams) than a standard pan-head screw but I like the idea of having more surface area in that area especially when attaching to carbon-fiber gear legs. I use this method on all of my Pattern planes now. Haven’t had a failure yet although my planes are by no means “overweight”. LOL
