I would either order it precision ground in the size you want or have it surface ground. I'm working on my first frame lock also and I'm glad I have a surface grinder, so far I've used on the blade, back spacer, bolsters and to get the pivot and stop pin to the correct length. I'm sure it can be...

How do you hold the felt in place? Glue or double sided tape?

It's well deserved, congrats Calvin. I appreciate all the help you given me. Jim

Look's great, Nice work!!

How much would an 8" platen tool rest only be, $60? I already have my GIB setup for horizontal, but your tool rest looks like it would be good addition to my setup. You should offer a tool rest for the small wheel holder also. A lot of the folder makes would like that, I believe.

Thanks Calvin, I'll try that. Do you use a HSS or carbide counter sink? Jim

I'm working on my first linerlock and this morning was trying to countersink the .055" Ti liners using a Toolmex #0 HSS 82° Zero Flute countersink. I tried running it at 1180 rpm with cutting oil and almost completely countersunk one hole before burning up the bit. It was a double ended...

Boss - Here are a couple pic's of a sled I use on my table saw for cutting blocks and scales. I don't recall where I got the plans from, but if you Google "table saw sled plans", you will get a ton of hits. Jim

Look's Good, I've only made a few myself, but it looks like your headed in the right direction. Keep us posted on your progress. Jim

Nice work!!

What is the make and model # and what parts are you needing for it? You may want to checkout some of the vintage machinery sites. I add a link to one below. Google vintage machines or equipment for others. http://vintagemachinery.org/home.aspx Jim

Thanks Ed

Ed - When using bearings, what is the minimum thickness of the liner material that you would recommend when milling a .050 deep pocket for the bearing?

I had bought mine at Knife and Gun Supply. I just checked their new website and couldn't find the bushings. I sent their customer service an email to see, if they still carry them. They were the only place I could find that carried them when I bought mine. I'll post their answer when I receive...

Merry Christmas everyone, Have a safe and happy holiday. Jim

Great work, Your Father.s going to be very happy with that, I'm sure. Jim

Very nice work, Craig, I like it. I'm sure the customer was thrilled when they received it. Is the fluting on the bolsters all done by hand with a file or do you mill them in ? Jim

Thank you Calvin, you've been a big help to me in getting to this point.

Nice save, I know a lot of work went into. I've restored a few old slipjoints myself, but never an Auto. A lot of sentimental valule there, I'm sure. Jim
