Thread: french frameback with removable blade.

The screw that fixes it in place is turned all the way in. Normal? Junk? Repairable?

I'd remove the blade and run the screw all the way in and out a few times to ensure the threads are clean.
Often they mung up from only turning to a certain stop distance their whole lives. Also clean out your blade channel well while the blade is out.
Good luck,, let's see some pics..
