I need to make a slight adjustment of the locating pin on my Domino.  I've loosened the allen screw to the point where it is almost falling out and I still can't budge the eccentric bushing.  Is there a trick or do they seat it with Locktite or something similar?  I don't want to marr it up.  I'm using a really big screw driver and still can't get enough leverage.
 
The only way I could adjust mine was to mark the present location and then drive out the bushing with a punch and then turn it as needed before reinstalling. I talked to David at Festool about what I did and he said others have had the same problem. You can try sanding the ID of the hole as David suggested to me but I still couldn't turn with a screw driver after sanding.
 
Thanks for your reply, I finally got enough bite with a screw driver to move it without any damage.  The mortise slot is dead on now.  Too bad they don't check them closer at the factory if they're going to make things such close tolerance.
