<VV> Overheating

[D. Barry Ellison]

Smitty says...
put a light underneath to look for obstructions from on top.  Takes lots of 
poking and prodding with something like a broken hacksaw blade and even 
maybe the use of jobber length 1/8" drills to grind

And I'll add...
The log on the bottom semi-blocks the light in the area you need it, but you 
can still tell pretty good.  I take a hack saw blade and cut it to a sharp 
point (so it looks more like a steak knife - best analogy I can come up 
with).  I cut almost 4" up the back using tin snips.  It gives you dual 
purpose - ability to break thru the poor castings and saw it back to where 
it's supposed to be.  I only broke one drill before I went this route and 
haven't gone back, and won't.  The handles available at your local hardware 
store are perfect for holding it - they allow the blade to extend out about 
6 inches if you're careful.  Too long and it tends to bend.
