It doesn't say. Is this something supposed to be "understood" like "if it doesn't say, it must be feet-pounds"? No.... don't make that assumption. Good advice. In dentistry, we tighten implant abutments to 35 N-cm. 1 lb-ft equals 135.5818 N-cm. If I assumed lb-ft when the manufacturer said "tighten to 35", I'd wrench the patient's head off. Welcome back. Where have you been? Boating. Fishing. Working. Hawaii. Boating. Fishing. Working. Boating. Fishing. Working. With the vacation and all the boating and fishing when do you find time for work? ;-) How long were you in Hawaii and what islands did you visit? 8 days. Maui. Fished the Finest Kind...a 37' Merritt. Pretty boat, handles well, raises fish, but LOUD. |
