Slipjoint Liner Mill Relief Fixture I thought I'd post some pic's of a fixture I finished up yesterday for mill relieving the liners...

I thought I'd post some pic's of a fixture I finished up yesterday for mill relieving the liners on slipjoints. The ideal way to do this would be with a rotary table, but since I didn't have $200 to $300 to spend on one right now. I though I would see if I could put together a fixture out of...

I am going to be sending some CPM154 slipjoint blades and springs out to Peters for heat treat. I am going to have the blades HT'd to 60-61RC. Does 46-48RC sound about right for the springs? 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...

1st Flipper "Updated" I am working on my first flipper prototype. I used one of my Kershaw's for the basic pattern. The liners are stainless and will be used as a pattern when I make the actual liners for the knife out of Ti. The blade is CPM154. Basically I'm trying to make a functioning...

Which stainless steels for knife making do not require a cryro treatment for optimal performance.

I have 3 sets of CPM154 blade & springs for slipjoints that I will be sending out for heat treatment. I will most likely be sending them to Peter's HT. I am trying to figure out what target hardness to specify for the blades and springs. From what I've read on this material I should also...

At sometime in the near future I would like to make a liner lock and had a question about liner material. Is titanium the only material that can be used for the locking liner? Is it possible to make a liner from stainless steel? If so, would the stainless need to be heat treated. Thanks Jim

I picked up this older Paragon E14A on Craiglist for $100 from a nice fellow that use to make knives. I haven't hooked it up yet to test it, but he told me that the last time he used it several years ago that it worked and that the heating elements had been replaced not long before he stopped...

Does anyone know of any other suppliers of 3/32 ID x 3/16 OD folder bushings, other than K&G Supply? Jim

I was out in my shop today cleaning up and getting ready to start on my next folder. I started setting up my grinder in the horizontal position with the small wheel attachment and remembered how unhappy I was with my work rest and it's lack of vertical adjustment. When using the grinder in...

I had ordered these Pyramex full lens magnifying safety glasses off Amazon and got them Friday. They are great, no more drug store magnifiers or bifocal safety glasses for me. I got the 1.5 and the 2.0. I like the 1.5's the most, enough magnification for closeup work and you can still get up...

I'm getting ready to buy some more materials for making slipjoints. I was going to go with stainless steel this time. I was thinking about CPM154 for the blade and spring material and 410 stainless for the liners, bolsters and pins. I would be sending out the blades and springs for heat...

Just finished up this one this morning. Blade and Spring are O1. Liners are Brass. Bolsters are nickle silver. Scales are Stag Bone. Let me know what you think. Jim

I ran across this on a machinist forum I visit. Thought I'd share it with the Dogs. Just fill out the online form and they will send you a free portaband blade. http://www.mkmorse.com/811.html

With the show only 3 weeks away, surprised no one has posted the question yet. I plan on being there Saturday. If your going to have a table post your table # and I'll stop by and meet you. Jim

As I mentioned in a different post. I'm looking for a different pattern for some future slip joints. I really like the look of the Lanny's Clip that Cubane posted recently. Does anyone have a pattern of this style they would be willing to share? I've looked online without much luck. I even...
