[gingery_machines] Re: Shaper Question (Help)

 

Nelson, Thanks, yes I know what Loctite is I've used it on the shaper & other devices I've made. What I was wondering is the loctite strong enough to hold the thread rod passing through the ram & keep the plate in place so the ram does not slip as Rick has shown is his PDF file on his shaper. It's not that hard to break loctite free & remove the bolt, & if this happened the ram would not be held down.
Thanks,
Brian

> You asked the question about Loctite? Loctite is used when the possibility of a bolt working loose. It is not necessary but the security is worth using it. As you will find out, the reciprocating motion things have a tendency to loosen. On the other end when a steel bolt is tightened into aluminum sometimes after years they will guild or lockup. Motorcycle mechanics have to deal with it all the time. Loctite is just an insurance policy it will not come loose on its own. And depending on the application the Loctite is made for, you may never loosen it.
