    I don't understand how motorcycles have anything to do with tightening a 5 inch Tormach vise.

    You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.

    There are a numbers of parts on that motorcycle that came out of a properly torqued 5 inch vise.

    We'll considering that no one had a good answer as to the torque question I figured Kenny and I could share motorcycling stories

    Did hear back from Tormach and they do not have a "recommended" setting. Guess that's how they would be able to deny a warranty claim....

    That's exactly why I use a inch pounds torque wrench.

    But the way this post started out, it sounded like the man was trying to hold 3 parts at one time.

    I have never had success holding 3 parts, but I have held 2. One on each end of the vise jaw.

    You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.

    Hey Steve,

    Well yes... I was talking about doing the three part in one vise and appreciate the feedback you provided. But my main question had to do with recommended (max) torque on the screw. So, since you are using an inch pound torque wrench, what In Lb settings are you using?

    Thanks,
    Awall

    I think consistency is more important than an actual "max" number.

    Obviously you don't want to crack the vise, and you don't want your parts to come out. If you're accomplishing this, and applying the same torque each time then I wouldn't be too concerned with trying to find that max torque value.

    Yep, at the end of the day all I was trying to do with this post was find the, "hey - if you tighten your vise above this # you are going to jack up your stuff". With that knowledge, if a part cannot be tightened via the vise pressure then you at least rule out that variable.

    If you are going to try 3 then you need something like some silver solder to take up the minor differences. Works for small stuff on occasion.

    So far (39 pcs) I was able to make it up with a piece of notebook paper put behind each piece with the torque set to 40 lbs. Worked like a champ.

    I have been enjoying making fixtures for multiple part jobs. Miteebite clamps are awesome.

    This one takes 2 10" long bars and turns them into 6 pieces. The clamps hold very well even after the split. You could look at carvesmart jaws and miteebite clamps then no workholding issues after that (if your budget allows)

    This is a great answer. To this day a 10 mm wrench feels perfect in my hand and I can torque a bolt to spec by feel alone.

    A good read!
    While back I did a double take thinking, Kenny Roberts. Talk about old school

    When I do 2 parts in one vise, I will place parts on opposite ends of the vise and tighten to about 60 inch pounds. Doing it this way I have never had a part come out of the vise.
