Thread: As requested... Adjustable Pins!

Ok guys, here it is again. How do I do my adjustable pins? You'll need:

From microfasteners.com-

-Machine Screws, brass hex head, size 0-80 x 1/2" (I might use a longer size next time- some huge blades take up a lot of width, but 1/2" is suitable for most)

-Nuts, Brass Hex nuts, size 0-80 "scale" (the hex head on these is basically the same as with the screws, the non-scale heads are bigger)

-Washers, flat washers brass, size #0 wide (that is my personal preference, but the non-wide would also work)

That's basically it. The tools to adjust the little hex heads are also available from microfasteners but only if you call... and man they work great. You can really tighten them up well if you use 2. So when you put em together (however you want) just screw the nut on the end of the screw, cut any extra length, (I then sand the ends), unscrew the nut to make sure all threads are in line, then just screw it back on! Any other questions, just ask!

No questions: just a request........ put the pic back up Please
Thanks Alex LOL

Sticky anyone?

Thanks for reposting this .. I have several razors in need of some TLC these adjustable pins are gonna make life a lot easier ..

Simple, elegant, functional- very impressive solution! :-)

Any reason we can't turn this thread into a sticky?

Yea!!! Its back!!!

I did get the 3/4" screws, just in case. Also a lot easier to get everything threaded if you are replacing only the pivot pin. I used the washers as thrust washers, and the filigree is from a bead shop-- you flatten with smooth pliers, and drill the hole out to 1/16.
Here's what I got:

and the results:

I filed down the clipped-off screw, so now I need to do a little buffing to get the smooth finish back.

Looks great man! My next order I'll be getting the 3/4 also. I have done scales for some huge wedges where I could've used the extra length. Those filigrees are cool too, I've been thinking of trying them out also. Thanks for the pics!

Bump due to excellent info.

Any traction for the sticky?

Edit: Philly, could you also add side view pics to show how the scales/washers/fasteners look as a finished product?

Thanks!
