John..no offense meant and apologize for an inadvertent slight
That term is often used throughout my early career in design. Even
Uncle Bill Leckilkner (who taught me my hands and design acumen) use
that term often...as he did NOT normally use a torque wrench, but was
'good' for it with his hard knock schooled hands
I did mention preload or tension for the shank. Even 'tried' to explain
why proper tension is very important here and many, many times
on other threads. Did also mention that anyone working on an ISO
certified production facility would be fired for not using or following
instructions on torque for a fastener
Also stated that there are years of courses in basic engineering that
folks here so cavalierly dismiss and have had a guy call it gobbledygook
Missed is that this stuff is of life and limb, but I am in the vast
minority vs the fat part of the bell curve (call them the herd)
Also lost respect for a few who I 'thought' had at least a basic understanding
or appreciation of how it is NOT a game, but serious engineering
or re-engineering discussions
So, am gone for a while as have more hobbies needing attention (OBTW
no longer just a hobby this forum, now serious as too many PMs and
even my email in box with real issues caused by poor to even dangerous
advice here)
