mmainlands Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Was curious how much people are moving steel on each attempt at "unbending"/ breaking steel. I've started a breaking session each week since reading Dave's post. I found today, with a 5.5" grade 5 bolt, that with each attempt at opening up the ends it was moving approx 1". I was able to move the steel much more braced in the past, but am trying the stricter non-bracing breaking style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
