Slip joint Liner Relief
Ok, so this may be a stupid question. I've been looking to make my first slip joint and I've been reading Don's book as well as other videos on Youtube, and I see the step to mill out the relief on the liners so as to not scratch the portion of the tang that rubs it.
My question is why would we not use a washer for this? I know we'd have to adjust the thickness of the blade to account for it, but not having a mill, this would be more in what I could do. -Dan __________________ Dan Hargrove Too many interests, and not enough time! |
