    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    The smaller the bolts, the more useful the torque wrench is, much easier to make a mistake or break 1/4-5/16 bolts than 1/2, I have modified motorcycle and snowmobile engines for a long time, I know what I'm talking about.

    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    Probably poplar is stable as you say, but I believe that a simple piece of non-laminated wood is really not the best thing for making rails, here we have 21 tables that are at least 35 years old. several rails are no longer straight and often a little bit too much to be acceptable. Currently I...

    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    Exactly, poplar is one of softest hardwood and accept staples, don't need to laminate glue a softwood strip on, like on the very hardwood rails, and this is a less expensive method to make rails.

    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    Strong hardwood laminated rails put more uniform pressure on the slate too, than 1 5/8'' poplar cheap rails. With large square washers at 10ft/lbs that begining to tight solid, I stopped it to 12ft/lbs and I'm sure that's really enough. It's more dangerous for the slate to tight more cheap...

    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    I forgot to specify that I also put spring washers on the square plate, we had problems with the cup washers, the edges of these washers are sharp and they cut and eat the wooden slate reinforcements in wood pine and that's where the rails fall loose.

    Torque specs for Rail Bolts

    15 ft/lbs is a lot and a bit too much for my feeling, I'm more comfortable with 12 ft/lbs, I replaced the cup washers by homemade square washers 2 x 2 x 1/4 inch the feeling is not the same, that's tight harder.

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    In fact this is a first cloth for testing purposes but if the results are good we will probably order 1 or 2 rolls, so I will go with your index measurement and take notes as you say on what this gives the stretching of the second long side or the total stretching of the long side and we can...

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    The goal is for the cloth to be stretched equally in both directions and at the same time stretched like a guitar string, but without knowing any measurements it can take quite a bit longer to achieve the right result, Thanks Professor!!

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    Good Thank You for this answer RKC, I understand very well what you have just explained there, but it is to find the right index to be able to stretch it equally in both directions and that they are well stretched everywhere, if you leave with less or more stretch on the side the work will not...

    We are about to install our first 3030 and I read somewhere that these cloths stretch a lot more than the Simonis, are there any known stretch indexes for these cloths? Thanks!
