Thread: i hope you don't mind my laziness...

Bill, you should have said he needs a high energy laser with 1/16" focal point attachment

cyrano138 once you've de-pinned to clean you will have to re-pin it, do you know how to do this ?.

Gary

what a coincidence! that was my next question. also, after filing the old pins, what should i use to push them through?

Something that's 1/16" diameter. Very gently..tap...tap...Make sure though you've got rid of the peened over end otherwise it will be a poofteenth too big which is large enough to cause damage. Protect the opposite side as well from getting scratched etc..

Gary

i think i can handle that so far...

what about re-pinning? what tools do i need and how is it done?

Holy Crap, Batman, you are lazy. Need someone to drop by to do the work for you?

If you come up with a question that has not already been answered on these forums, I'd be happy to answer it for you.

i'm sure someone out there won't typing a few lines to save me the trouble of poring over thirty or forty pages of threads by people asking how to make scales out of old fishing lures. i read the whole godamn archives section and couldn't find a single detail about removing and re-pinning without a drill press.

seems to me it would've taken just as much time for you to post something constructive (like an answer) as it did to tell me you weren't going to answer any unoriginal questions.

if you don't want to help me, that's your prerogative, but why go through the trouble to post just to provoke me? what the hell?

by the way, thanks to all the folks who've been helping so far.

I don't like your tone You are being discourteous to a good friend of mine, I've found everything I need on SRP by looking.

I'm outa here, good luck.

138, your thread title has nothing to do with your desire to know about repining a razor. That's not a good idea. I'm sure you thought it is provocative enough to make people look, but that's not enough. If you want to ask something, you might want to put adequate title first.

This forum has Search function, and appropriate button for that, right there, up, below the title. Bill was just encouraging you to do that. Just hit "repining" or something more creative, and you will quickly find what you are looking.

It is not that people mind typing a few sentences of an answer to a very simple question, but it's not pleasant doing that over and over again.

You have already spend more time asking consecutive questions in this thread, than what you would spend searching and reading numerous (very good) threads about repining.

I may suggest to all newbies to first use the search function of this forum, before asking similar questions like this one, because if someone was in the mood of giving elaborate answer couple of months before, might throw a just few words next time... That will benefit your knowledge, as well as diminish cluttering the forums with similar threads.

btw, here in my question about the same thing, asked a year ago. There were no posts to search from then. Thanx to Bill and Randy helping me with that one...

Cyrano, now you know there's a search function on here. I had the same problem when I first started...not knowing how to search, because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be looking for. Now, I know just enough to know I know nothing. lol I hate when threads turn nasty like this. Your response, while perhaps justified to you, pretty much guarantees nobody's gonna go out of their way to help you for awhile, and that's regrettable, because there's a good group of people here with a lot to offer. Responses like yours are better served with a PM, rather than open argument on a public forum.
Just my $.02

Take care,
