Socket fabrication from A36 MS plate

Ebyate · Jan 7, 2020

Since there a non availability of a particular size open type socket readily in the stores, I am contemplating to fabricate the same from the subject plate.

I would to have your opinion/advise if the plate will withstand when 350 Nm torque is applied. The socket will be connected to 3/4" torque.

Thanks

A36 sounds soft for a tool like that

Those sharp internal corners aren't helping a bit.

[green]To the Modelmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?[/green]
