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

Just an aside -- FastenerExpress does not offer the wrench to tighten the hex heads.
