Lower blade clamp problems with small blades

Recommended Posts

  have a Delta 40-695,  similar to the Dewalt.   I  have  difficulties with the lower blade clamp tightening smaller blades such as 2/0 or nbr-1.   Larger blades  like nbr-5 or 7   will  clamp  just fine  without  any issues.  I  have  tried  adjusting the set screw...  but  those  dang  smaller  blades will just  not  clamp.
 
My go to blade is the FD UR nbr-5   all the time.... But  I  have the need to use  a smaller  blade   and  can only get it to clamp like 1 out of 50 tries
 
Any  help  will be appreciated!!
