Yep, but no room at 90. I figure that opposing is better than 1 screw.


Actually it is not much better. Think of having two men pulling against each other on a rope. Now tie one end of the rope and just have one man pull. The tension in the rope is the same in both cases.

Is the part long enough that you can put two set screws both at the same degree.?

I've pretty much decided to build a clamp the next time this part comes
into play. It does work OK as is, I just know better.
