Anybody have a general chart listing the tightening specs for cast iron T-Slots? If a hold-down kit uses Grade 8 studs and nuts, and hardened clamps, etc. I assume that would make the table itself the weak link...
I'm in the process of re-cutting some teeth on a large gear and I'm getting movement/slippage of the part on the table. For this job I'd like to get close to maximum clamping force so I don't have rebraze again, but I REALLY don't want to crack-out my rotary table.
In the absence of a full chart, if anybody has any idea what a 9/16" table slot can safely handle in terms of in/lbs or ft/lbs, that would help as well.
Thanks!
