bracket strength
 

Does anyone know the PSI rating for the l shaped brackets you find at Home
Depot. These are the ones in the roofing area, not the window area. I am
using them as part of a system to raise and lower wheels on a workbench and
cannot have them bending on me. Thanks guys...

give this guy an award for vagueness

If they're made of steel, 20,000 PSI stress would probably be a
reasonably conservative estimate.

This would also apply to the ones in the window area, if they're made
of steel...

Carl,
Check your math, I think you rounded wrong, it is actually 43.

Deep Thought can't be wrong. It says 42. Dare you to doubt?


I had to check, could I have possibly been wrong. Cite:

Can't be. Remember the scrabble tiles on prehistoric earth and what
they spelled out?

Ok if DT says so I am wrong. Just hope the OP did not use my answer of 43
in his design.

Um, a couple of free clues for you, Chris:

1. You're not paying any of us consulting fees, so we don't have a duty
to perform to your demands.

2. Your question was, if not vague, then at least without enough
information. You assume we all know what a Home Depot is, what their
stock is in which department, how they differ, how big your workbench
is, and how PSI works into whatever design you have in mind.

3. When you top-post, you **** up the flow of the conversation.

Other than that, great knowing you. Maybe you should _observe_ usenet
for a bit longer before you manage to **** off the rest of it.

No fear, I am sure he has plenty others to ask the "unanswerable" question
to.
