Thread: Blade Centering Question

I made a set of scales and the razor that I am going to put in them has a slight warp in the spine. The blade will close center, but once it gets about half way into the scales it shifts to one side alittle. Not really a big deal since it doesn't hinder the function any, but it is annoying me. Usually when something like this happens I would work the inside of the scales, but these ones have a metal liner so can't really do anything there. I was able to make it shift less by using the thicker washers from microfasteners on one side and one of the original, thinners washers on the other side. I don't really like that idea even though its not that noticeable unless your looking for it, but I know its there. I really don't have confidence in myself to try and straighten the spine so was wondering if anyone has any ideas or is the two different washers enough. I don't have the camera here to take pictures to show what I am talking about so I am hoping that I made it sound clear. I am having the feeling that I am just going to have to deal with it.

If she closes dead center, at the beginning,if the spine is warped,is nothing you can do but live with it, IMO ,moveing washers around will not fix anything.
