Suggest looking into a 1.50" long ''thumb screw", with proper thread-pitch---(same thread pitch as the fitting on the tool).
Place a flat washer and hex nut on the screw.
Adjust the nut position on the screw, so facilitate a snug fit, to the face on fixture.
There's adequate clearance for a hex nut, fitted on the thumb screw.
(The hex nut is smaller AC (across corners), than the diameter of the knurled nut).
Derrell,
I agree, I have the same issue.
My thumb and fingers, just don't fit into that little space.
I have to pry off the cover to access the fastener.
The Knurled nut could be a larger diameter, and with larger/deeper knurl.
(The size of the knurls on that fitting, is what I use on a fingernail file).
HINT: Additional clearance is needed between the sawdust cover and the knurled nut.
May someone at KREG tools with get the hint---hint---hint.
I'll post a reply, when I come up with a better solution.
(What I've described above, was a simple quick solution).
I thought I'd share my solution that I came up with. First I started out with a 10/32 bolt about 3 inches long. Then I chucked it up in my drill press and used a file to shape the end of the bolt so it would engage the holes on the drill guide. I had some 5/16 star knobs so I used one of those and drilled a hole through it. Then I ran the 10/32 bolt through the hole and used a nut to hold the start knob to the bolt. I used two more nuts to set the distance the bolt can tighten to. Works perfect!

I've been using my Adaptive Cutting System table for a few years now, and it's been really solid. This past week was the first time I ever needed to use the miter guide though.I was rebuilding some shelving in a tiny closet and I discovered the…Continue

I am building a small trunk for a military friend to put some belongings in. I have made legs out of ash hardwood and will make the sides out of 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. The legs are 1.5” thick by 2” wide. So since I’m drilling pockets in…Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
