Do you know something you didn't before you started reading?

Nothing is ever for nothing!

1/4-20, sorry. I'm just saying deformation and retraction is alloted in MANY engineering applications, such as the skin and airframe on your airplane. That airplane acts much like an arrow in flight, just on a larger and slower realm, but the flexing and bending are still there, the entire plane...

I won't argue anything you said, but in a given circumstance, the deformation, will keep things together in applications, where the snapping off is the end of operation in others. As I said with the splitter, grade 8 would snap easily, and could be dangerous, grade 5 will flex and is more...

OK, why?

It's also what makes it weaker in some applications, grade 8 allows for little to no flex or side load. It's hard to explain, a grade 5 bolt will take more stress over time than a grade 8, but the grade 8 will take more force on a one time load. Basically, loads of a predicted amount, on a...

I'm with Justin, on the big splitter build, I used grade 5 bolts to hold the push block together. Two reasons, grade 8 just snaps and shoots shrapnel everywhere. Grade 5 will flex and bend, yes, they do snap, but you have some warning they are getting ready. In many instances I'd go the other...
