I've been working on some folder designs and getting all my equipment and supplies. One question I've been thinking about is washer thickness. I know that the detent ball needs to be exposed the same amount as the washer thickness, but what thickness is ideal for a good detent using a 1/16" detent ball. I was thinking if the washer was too thin then you don't get enough of the ball sticking up and you may have a little play with the blade closed or the detent wouldn't be strong enough to hold the blade closed. Thanks.
