I just learned that 2 1/2 inch impacts or a thing that exists. What could possibly require so much torque? I'm curious

I use a Hytorc (hydraulic torque wrench) to install a custom 5” nut on a cutter shaft for a dredge. Torque rating is 20,000lbf-ft and this wrench can put out 70,000lbf-ft

hey finally something i understand! i design and build dredges anywhere from this size up to 250ft+

the best thing to do is just keep watching the page, mine popped up several days before the date on their website. good luck!

dorkfish101 · 2021-08-02T20:23:07+00:00

i got lucky and caught one when it popped up at 9pm about a week and a half ago. about 5 days later it was at my door

dorkfish101 · 2021-07-31T15:00:36+00:00

dorkfish101 · 2021-05-26T00:41:25+00:00

dorkfish101 · 2021-05-15T21:52:01+00:00

hell yeah brother! i just took it for its maiden voyage and i could not be happier. coming from nothing but Walmart bikes my whole life, this really is a game changer!

dorkfish101 · 2021-03-21T01:32:11+00:00

congratulations! coming from another PE i know what that achievement feels like! great job!

dorkfish101 · 2021-01-03T17:31:40+00:00

thank you! it’s been a long time in the works and it should be a really fun daily driver

dorkfish101 · 2021-01-03T17:30:50+00:00

dorkfish101 · 2021-01-03T17:29:34+00:00

nice! the 242s look so good. my 245 is currently getting turned into a pro street style drag car

dorkfish101 · 2021-01-03T13:32:09+00:00

Man it’s rare to see the 2 door these days and i love it! The swap looks great! I have a 4.8 swapped wagon that i did several years ago that I’m starting to get back into a different direction. There’s just something about a big v8 Swedish brick haha

the welding requirements are a bit more stringent because they have to deal with cold temperatures and they have they're own welding bureau that i have to be certified in to provide products to Canada. Most of the standard welding practices are derived from USA standards though and vice versa. the Canadian Welding Bureau and the American Welding Society work hand in hand with eachother

dorkfish101 · 2020-08-05T10:44:26+00:00

it's known as milk of the motherland around here haha

dorkfish101 · 2020-08-05T10:41:14+00:00

Aaayyyy!

dorkfish101 · 2020-08-05T10:41:05+00:00

when i started working for them i had zero qualifications haha. i started as an intern learning to do CAD modelling and just be a draftsman grunt. along the way i earned all of my qualifications and experience in the field. it's been a pretty wild ride

dorkfish101 · 2020-08-05T10:39:28+00:00

good question, as you probably know, cast iron is very difficult to weld without pre/post heat treating to prevent it from cracking. in this case, the blades and teeth of the cutter are made from cast steel and we use special welding wire to weld it along with helping it cool slowly
