Hi
I own a Dewalt 733 thicknesser which I am very happy with. One question, when changing the blades and retightening the holding bolts what pressure is best used to tighten them. The natural reaction is to want to tighten them more than perhaps necessary for safety's sake but obviously one doesn't want to damage thread etc. I read in a magazine somewhere that a torque wrench can be used to achieve the right pressure each time to overcome above worries. Does anyone out there use a torque wrench for this purpose and at what setting.
Thanks in advance
James
