 Re: Where can I get pivot screws for an older Buffet?

I'd definitely NOT recommend cutting new slots at right angles to the existing ones as that will considerably weaken the heads. Should they bind up in the pillar and you need to remove them by applying more torque than normal, then the risk of the segments shearing off is considerable. I've seen it done and also done on rod screw heads which causes nothing but trouble and it looks amateurish.

It might work to remove screws where the slots are cut to the depth of a mere scratch and the slot has been rounded off and you're going to replace them anyway, but with regular depth slots (which can be up to 2mm deep), it will create a significant weakness and also allow the screw head to flare out and ream out the screw hole in the pillar head if the wrong screwdriver is used.
