We have quite a few fixtures, bases, risers, etc from 5th Axis in our shop. We use them in a lot of our machines, and in inspection as well. Recently we've been noticing a lot of these pull-studs breaking. Some are breaking at the pull stud itself, some are breaking the actual stud/set screw that threads into the base/pullstud. I would say we've had close to 2 dozen of them break. We are using a torque wrench on all of them, and I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'm not jumping to 5th Axis being the problem, but it does seem like a bad heat treat batch or something like that.
Has anyone else seen this??
