They would go right next to the Pillow-Block-Bearings and keep the shaft from moving axially; either a pair on the outside of the 2 of them, or a pair on the inside. I also recommend grinding a flat spot or drilling a dimple into the shaft for the set screw on the collar. This will allow you to lock it to the shaft better.

Get some proper pillow-block-bearings and some axle collars and use that to mount the rod instead of the conduit clamps; stronger and then you won’t have to worry about it. Harbor-freight should have everything you need.

Be careful with this though… leaving earlier than everyone else can carry negative impressions as well. It’s a high wire balance to achieve of coming in and leaving times such that the perception (which is all that matters) isn’t negatively effected.

In a way; applying the torque translates into a force the screw/bolt head is applying axially down the screw/bolt into whatever it’s being driven into; this force is what holds the parts together, or in the sense of a gasket crushes the gasket a certain amount. (Think of the gasket like a spring not a solid).

We do the exact same. 70 is like sticky/horribly hot for me; 60-63 is perfect and I sleep like a rock; 67+ and I toss and turn all night.

Until your brain doesn’t… my mother has broken several teeth from clenching at night, even with a night brace.

If this is what is happening; then the shower and tiles were not installed properly to start with.

Please post some pictures and we maybe able to help with a fix... maybe.

But then charging a penalty to certain companies but not others due to a international political issue? I’d like an example please to support your claim that they do similar to this for things… gotta be a foreign issue and limited to penalties related to that foreign issue that certain companies are penalized for and others are not depending on where that companies position is on this foreign issue.

I’ll wait.

Thus it's a "penalty" which you just admitted... thus a "fine" as the poster said they weren't doing; 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other.

> fining,

But this is exactly what they're doing; the 20% penalty, or did you miss that part?

Read that reply, still doesn't seem right. In my 20+ years of using cutoff wheels I've never had to dress one, ever.

And that’s where I have a hard time agreeing with your broad claim of not being any better.

Can you link to the study showing this overall?

The one linked by the OP was only a small study in the UK done by 3 doctors with barely over 100 patients with limited data used to determining the effectiveness/differences.

Correct. But that’s also why there are other medical robotics similar that are specifically for orthopedic applications.
