@@WearyKirin As a Porsche mechanic for 12.5 years, mentored under a German man who worked at Porsche in Germany. I was taught to treat the torque wrench as a precision instrument. Not as a normal ratchet. I also got mine calibrated every year. Maybe I am a bit OCD on that.
@@jackflash6377 a friend and I both had the same torque wrench a cheaper one on amazon that worked great I have a separate regular wrench however he used his like a regular one to get to the point his worked like shit after about a year and mine is still solid to this day
I was in the trade 15 years and was always curious about tightness. So many things needed a different amount and I learned to do it all by touch with an Allen key. My engineer friend always joked “tight as it will go plus a quarter turn” 😯.
I swear since pandemic started I was a follower. Big story behind titan and the company... insane parts... insane employees and their progression... huge props
You should never use a torque wrench to loosen bolts it damages the torque wrench mechanism in turn gives a false torque reading. Which will be dangerous read your torque wrench manual under warnings.
@@Killou no it absolutely is not alright. The manufacturer will tell you if you question it. You literally pissing away money and ruining precision tooling if you do this.
@@kbutta01 damn that guy on the video used so much force to loosen those bolts, must have been destroyed this Torque wrench... No it's fine as soon as the torque is low, if not he would have a breaker bar in his hands
It's not a motorcycle, it's just some screws on a vise. In my shop we tighten and loosen bolts all the time with torque wrenches, we never set the torque back to minimum after use (mostly stays at 60 and 100NM) and I don't even think the shop torque wrenches are calibrated. Also experience some shock regularly from kinda putting it down fast if not dropping a few mm. And when I say all the time I mean it. Depending on what machine we're fastening screws up to 128 a day and therefore loosening them 128 a day. Unless you cannot afford to tighten it more than necessary, say for thin walled parts, it don't matter if its off by a few NM or more
So if your using a torque wrench to tighten bolts your looking for some sort of precision in your holding of that part. Using it to loosen is just plain stupid. These wrenches are not designed to loosen plain and simple. One of these days that wrench will cost you a 100k spindle.
Would be easier to just turn a quick bore in the bottom of the part and hold it in a hainbuch mandrel - fully locates and gives total clearance all over the part. Can switch from big to small diameters way faster too
I’m not sure. I bet it’s close but the Jaws won’t bite in the same each time making it slightly off I would assume. Pivot points shouldn’t effect it too much either
Just the marks alone regardless of if they're coming off would be the reason that I wouldn't use the damn thing hell I put aluminum shims under my Chuck Jaws no matter what it's like I've always treated all parts equally there is no such thing as hurry up I just want you to turn down that diameter it's only clearance then you do it. Three jaw chucks are only for soft jaws and yes I do use an indicator on every part. It only takes a minute to make sure. Leave nothing to chance always fly by the numbers the number doesn't make sense you better figure out why. I don't watch TV and I hate mysteries. Somebody turns damn heavy metal on I'm going home if I run out of cigarettes I can either stop and go get some or I will pick those up on my way home.
