There appears to be a threaded hole in the center of the casting. Any ideas what it's for?

To add another ball mount. I was told that this model is no longer in production due to the inherit weakness caused by the hole.

The unit I received, did not have this. I do believe that it is another position for the ball to be mounted.

Mine does not have that hole, rather, a RAM logo. I have noticed that there is another version that has a ball mounted in that location. I sort of wish I had that version so I could mount a cup holder there.I must say, I really love my RAM mount. My only complaint was the cheesy sleeves that go over the bolts. They were made of nylon and cracked as soon as I tried to tighten it up. I went to the local hardware store and bought the exact size spacers made out of aluminum. That fixed the issue. Shame on RAM for the plastic spacers on an otherwise awesome piece of engineering.

Mine didn't come with anything for that hole. I'm guessing that's for some sort of accessory but I have no idea what that might be.

I do not know. I think you need to contact the seller or maker. Possible bushing or dirt in the line or something.

Picture was a spinning rod. Twice they sent me casting rods...super light action. Good luck.

there was a threaded nut soldered into the base of mine. I just screwed the center post into it, put a drop of clear nail polish, and tightened it up. Mine works just fine. Hope this helped.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.

Maybe they were talking about the pipe (bend). I have a lead bend with a broken iron or brass flange ring. I was thinking about pulling out the brass flange and installing this one.

That was no problem at all with mine. Maybe there was a 'burr' inside or a buildup of paint to make it a little harder to fit. Both are easy fixes.

I had trouble installing the casters. The rear caster plates were not tapped and the metal (steel) was stronger than the screw (aluminum?), so the screw just got stripped. I picked up some 6-32 machine screws and nuts at the hardware store and that solved the problem. It's lame the didn't provide the right hardware.

The company web sit may have that info. Meantime, flatten it in vise and maybe use a washer over it. A local machine shop would make a better one for a couple bucks

I had the same problem. To solve it, I put Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 on the six large bolts on the main, center post. You also need to shim the rotating foot treadles where they connect to the arm shafts. I used washers to make sure there was no left-right play where the arm shafts connect to the foot treadles.

The top is marked and drilled for both the DW734 and DW735. The caster assembly slips over one of the stretchers (made of square tubing) and secures with two bolts. The bolt holes are centered, so you can slide the caster assembly on from either side. It's a very simple setup - if you don't like it one way, it takes just a minute or two to reverse it.

I've never had that problem. I thread locked the screws even though I thought it was overkill. Perhaps they were screwed in at a bad angle and finally gave out?

There is a hole in the middle of the grill. I painted my old white knob from my old grill silver to match.

As far as I can remember both mounting points should have the brass threaded inserts. I believe you have a defective part, I would return this and get a new one.

It appears to be threaded for very small screws. But i did not wish to spend the time to find any that worked. So i used JB plastic weld to secure the shroud to the projector body.

Hi, mine had a hole in the center on the handle. And I mounted it on a wall... If I were you, I would just do a hole on the center for a screw.
