Reply:That is correct,  torque to setting then add the degrees.  If they are torque to yield bolts then you will need to use new bolts to get the torque correct.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250

Reply:I personally loathe torque to yield fasteners.   Having to buy new bolts every time you dissasemble something is a real big added pain in the azz.   The other being for the reason your buddy feels dumb.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.

Reply:I think they make a torque angle gauge for that. I seem to remember one when I was a mechanic for Oldsmobile. I just can't remember if I ever bought one. I will have to look in the drawer with all of the "tools I bought, but will proly never use again!""Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:Too bad it's not in your area. http://nh.craigslist.org/tls/3325149629.html  Good price.Otherwise fleabay has some, usually. Measures the torque and angle.
Reply:Yeah I have an angle guage, got it off the snap-on truck. It was about $80. And makes it so much better to get the correct Degrees out of the bolt. Especially if you only have about 15 degrees of movement in a tight spot.Offering CNC Plasma cutting and welding projects.Follow me on facebook https://www.facebook.com/nobigdeal.fabSupport those that support WW.
