Thread: Nuts and Bolts and Washers oh my From Microfasteners...

Hey,
I am re-pinning a Boker blade that had a tube. I was going to use a 3/32 rod without the tube to fit the hole in the blade. Would I need a #2 washer from microfasteners to get the right inside diameter for the 3/32 rod? Or would it be better to find a 3/32 tube with a 1/6 rod and the #0 washers for inside and out?
Thanks

Look at the thread about sleeving an over size pivot hole

noticed some dead links due to microfasteners changing their website and I thought id update this list:

If you are going to actually use these for pivots then you need the wrenchs (2) and you need to call for those they are 3/32 hex these might be listed online now I haven't checked in years...

I believe the wrenches can be found here

Thanks to all for this excellent info.! I just ordered all of the above from micro-fasteners, got my pinstock from Jantz, and my greaseless comounds and wheels. I already have all the buffers and other tools I need in my son's knife-making workshop. Now I plan to dive into razor restoration on all the awesome old razors I've bought the last few months-I can't wait!

chaloney,
Thank you so much for updating the links. As a noob this has been the hardest part of refurbishing my straight. It is a stuggle to say the least!!

I have a couple straight razors I am making and like the idea of using micro fasteners. My question is this. The blade steel I am using is 1/4 inch at it's thickest point "spine" . So, with that in mind . and the Scales being say a little less that a 1/4 of an inch , will the above micro screws work ? I am just trying to get "exactly" what I need before I order so as to not have to return any items . All help appreciated.

Order the 1 inch and trim them to fit

I ordered all on the list. I should be able to make it work. Using wood for scales so I can always sand them thinner

Here is the razor I am working on. Close to 9/8 .
