Re: Kinda surprised at Excalibur
I would imagine that a lot of manufacturing process still remains the intellectual property of the company. Probably, the people on the line somewhere(not specific to Excal or anyone) assembling the same part each day with a specified, and calibrated tool don't get to know that info either. It would be unreliable at best with today's standards to rely on a human to apply the same torque for hours on end.

Extruding produces very good material strength properties, cheaper than forging or exotic alloys +HT, so makes sense.
Hahaha. Questions I'm most often asked are "are you a doctor" or "are you in military". When I respond "nope, engineer by birth" they smile and quip "figures" or "I can see that".BTW, my daughter holds a PHD in Industry Engineering. From the day she could talk, we figured she was going to be a cop or an Engineer
Congrats on your daughter's accomplishments. You did great raising her!

Prolly why SAE doesn't have torque charts for aluminum. All aluminum threads should be roll formed (with rare exception for forgings); cut threads are 20% weaker and do not accomplish the requisite clampload desired for most assemblies and joints.
