Re: Pro Lock Tightening Update

Hi Imran,

I don¡¯t have a prolock. ?I might be missing something, is this a traditional screw that¡¯s getting torqued? ?Your video certainly doesn¡¯t appear to be providing 8.8Nm of torque spinning in your fingers.

After getting prolock for my shaper spindles, I asked the question here about how many turns to achieve 8-10Nm torque spec. That went unanswered.

I just did the test with torque wrench. With 2 finger tight as shown in the video, it took 1.25 turns to reach 8.8Nm +/-6%



The shaft of the 4mm wrench, provided by Prolock, starts twisting after 1 turn. I have never gone that far to tighten the screw. I have a feeling that most users w/o torque wrench are under tightening Prolock.

Can any Prolock user with a torque wrench corroborate my results.
