changing helical knives
I'm sure I read something lately on here, but can't seem to find it.
When changing knives on a helical head, do people use a torque wrench? Setting?
I think the time has come to rotate and would like to here others tips and experiences.
cheers

There is this thread which mentions a torque figure.

and this one

a quick conversion check and it’s the same torque in each post.

There is no need for a torque wrench, just a few clunks with an impact driver will do. I have done literally thousands like this and never had any problems

I purchased a 5.6Nm torque wrench similar to this one. Cost about $30. Works perfectly.
