TI Jazz Swings

Yes. On Grovers and several other brands, that screw also controls how tight the worm gear is against the gear at the bottom of the post.

If you’ve been tightening them more than once a year, you’re probably being too compulsive about it. I don’t think I’ve had to tighten one more than a dozen times in my life. If you’ve been tightening several times a year, you probably overtightened it. This compresses the crush washer between the button shaft and the body of the tuner, eventually making it impossible to tighten enough to hold tune. If that’s the problem, replace the washers and don’t overtighten the screws.

I said snug not cranked down. And no, I don't have to do it that often. I just make sure the buttons aren't wiggly.

Wiggly tuner buttons are annoying. It just feels wrong.
