Question
What torque is required during the CNC shaft setup?
Answer
The CNC shaft setup requires the fixture bolts to be tightened to 42 ft-lb before first-piece inspection.
The answer is directly supported by a current document.

First-Piece Inspection
Thread gauge check — Cell 4 shaft coupling
After fixture torque and before lot release, check the coupling thread with the GO and NO-GO plug gauges. Do not use a wrench on either gauge.
Must pass
- GO plug gauge threads in by hand for the full gauge length.
- No binding, no tools, no forcing.
- If the GO gauge does not enter fully, reject the piece.
Must not pass
- NO-GO plug gauge must not enter more than 1.5 turns.
- If the NO-GO threads in freely, the thread is oversized.
- Hold the piece and notify Quality.
Accept rule. Accept only when the GO gauge enters fully by hand and the NO-GO gauge does not enter more than 1.5 turns.
