Thread: Broken Scale aka how did I screw up?

That sucks

I see some rust in the broken scale. Likely fused to the pin.

Make sure not too cold in your shop, everything tightens up when cold.

after cutting one side, if too tight to rotate the scales around both sides at pin, try to soak some oil on it, before completing the depinning.

To repair I prefer cutting a notch in the back side of the break and epoxy. but that's almost as much work as making new scales
