I’m not sure what part of the scale cutting you would be doing on a table saw. The kerf is pretty wide and the slabs are pretty thin. Order the slabs to your desired thickness and then cut the shape and finish them. Using a table saw for making scales is either an very advanced skill set, or a recipe for injury, potentially both.

Yeah, as I said, you have to do a little searching around on their website as it is not extremely intuitive. Here is the link to horn slabs

And here are the bone slabs

Also bags of mammoth ivory pieces although I don't know if there are pieces big enough for razor scales.

There is also micarta and a host of other things but you just have to search around.

I think you should be able to cut what you need with a coping saw out of these slabs.

Thanks Jamie, exactly what I was looking for, now I'm cooking with gas.

A bit of confirmation.

In the picture there are two sizes of washer.

I assume the smallest goes inside the scales and the largest are the outside that gets peined against?

Yes, that's how I see it, too.

Nope, its big inside, small out.

There are some that go under the collar, for support.

I've used the under collar washer, as a collar.



Ya know ya got it down, when you can snug up the scales, and still see that tiny little washer.

The trick with pinning is lots of light taps, not heavy blows

The large beehive collars have a smaller beehive that goes underneath.
