Just finished up this liner lock this week. Blade is 1/8" O1 steel, acid etched and stonewashed. .090" titanium liners. 1/8" burlap micarta scales.

I have 3 titanium frame locks and 2 titanium liner locks available. The three frame locks all have .170" Alabama Damascus blades. They are running on SS caged bearings with hardened washers on the Ti side. They all 3 have hidden stop pin tracks. Titanium standoffs from TiConnector. The...

Still available?

AKS bearings are .373" in diameter and they are .062" thick. I also use their hardened washer that is .389 diameter and .020" thick, so I normally shoot for .062" deep for my bearing packet, so that I have .020" on either side of the blade. I've heard that the hardened balls in the bearing can...

Yea, I have the 3 axis DRO. It just seems that when I use the fine adjustment knob to get down to .062", it compresses or squeezes the Ti and when the DRO reads .062" it isn't really that deep, I have to keep pecking at it to get it to that depth. Maybe I should abandon the fine feed knob and...

I do have a rotary table, maybe I'll try that method and keep my RPMs around 300ish. I have notice that the Ti likes pressure. Unfortunately that was the only end mill around that size with a 3/16" pilot that I could find. It's only carbide tipped, so don't know if that makes a difference...

I have been using the AKS 3/16" bearing that are .373" in diameter. Up until now I have been using a 13/32 carbide tipped counter-bore with a 3/16" pilot running at around 300-350 RPM. It works OK, although it does leave a nasty burr right around the pivot hole. To avoid this, I am considering...

OK, I'll take the top 3 on the right please.

I'll take the top 3 on the right and the bottom one on the right please.

Looks aweome! Great job.

Got the 2nd framelock prototype finished up. This one uses 3/16" O1, Acid etched and stonewashed. Scales are .165 Ti that have been bead blasted, stonewashed, and anodized. Hardware are Ti (screws, pivots, and standoffs). I went with a 1/16" detent ball on this one instead of the usual 2mm...

I don’t think you are being critical at all. I agree 100%. Those are things that caught my eye too and things that will be changed on the next one. I may even add a false edge to the next one too. Thanks for the feedback!

I agree 100%. Next time I’m gonna make the plunge line come in at an angle to match the front of the scale. That way I can bring the lower part of the plunge further back. Thanks for the feedback!

I tried to make the images larger, there were a bit on the small side before...

Thank you! Blade length is 3.75". Titanium is anodized blue, I like how it turned out with the bead blast and stonewashed finish. For some reason I like a worn in/broken in look. Plus it helps with random scratches etc... from EDC. Screws are 2-56 black button head. Grind is a typical flat...

Finished up my first framelock this past weekend. 1/8" O1 Blade acid etched and stonewashed, O1 backspacer acid etched and stonewashed. I used .160 Titanium for the handle scales, bead blasted, stonewashed, and anodized. Pocket clip is .125 Titanium, milled out, bead blasted, stonewashed and...

Perfect! That is what I will do. I have a dial indicator and used it to check my vise. I'll mount it up and center the rotary table and then do the same with the aluminum plate! Thanks so much for your help.

I have that hole in the aluminum plate reamed to 3/16" so I can put a 3/16" pivot in my blade and have the blade clamped to the table with the pivot through the blade and into that hole in my aluminum plate, so I can't make that hole bigger. I see what you are saying about centering up my...

But I have that aluminum plate that will mount over the center hole of my rotary table. I guess I could center the rotary table before mounting the aluminum plate, but if my hole in the aluminum plate is not dead center, it may not work. That is why I was wondering it just centering the hole...

So I saw Chris Crawford's video on his rotary table. He basically has the same setup as me. An aluminum plate mounted to the T slots in the rotary table. To center his aluminum plate, he didn't bother with centering the mill, he was just concerned with centering the hole he had in/near the...
