Sort of - this was a "literal" live edge on both sides of the chop and there was a knot in the middle of the board.
I shy away from yellow tools but I second Bruce on this. If i take it apart, it gets anti-seize going back together.One thing to remember is to put some anti-seize on your new screws.
Just so I can derail EVERY thread I touch -
Mike you said "Torx is better than allen head but hex is much stronger than either."
What do you mean "hex is much stronger?"
I can translate more torque into a joint with a TORX drive than with a external hex drive.
Additionally - if you want an internal hex drive that is stronger - ask for Unbrako or SPX screws - they are manufactured to a higher strength than a taiwan or China SHCS (socket head cap screw
Right Chris - Grade 8 for S.A.E (inch) parts or 12.9 for metric, but if you can purchase Unbrako parts they will be stronger yet (14.9 in metric)I think what Mike meant about being stronger is most allen head socket capscrews are grade 8 ( as strong as you can buy )while many others are grade 5 or less or possibly no grade.
This dire tale made me go take a look at my 735 to see what I might run into when I finally need to flip the blades. Luckily (I hope) mine turns out to be new enough that it came with Torx screws and not the Allen screws. I didn't try to loosen any of the blade screws today thinking that it's better to save that for when I actually need to do so.
I have had my 735 about 6 months and getting ready to flip mine, this has been very informative and great news !
