.125" Stainless Pivot:
![]()
Our pivots are machined to very tight tolerances of
-0.0 to +.0002".This pivot is made from 416 stainless steel and heat treated full hard to approximately HRC 42. All our pivots are professionally heat treated in a vacuum furnace. This leaves the pivots with a shiny surface. When getting items heat treated, you get what you pay for.
Ream the blade pivot hole and liners with a .1250" reamer. The blade will move freely on the pivot shaft. If you are not using a reamer, buy one. You will never achieve tight tolerances using only a drill bit to make your pivot holes.
The screws are 2-56. The high number of threads make it easy to adjust the blade tension.
The pivot and screws are sold together.

.187" Stainless Pivot:
![]()
Our pivots are machined to very tight tolerances of
-0.0 to +.0002".This pivot is made from 416 stainless steel and heat treated full hard to approximately HRC 42. All our pivots are professionally heat treated in a vacuum furnace. This leaves the pivots with a shiny surface. When getting items heat treated, you get what you pay for.
Ream the blade pivot hole and liners with a .1875" reamer. The blade will move freely on the pivot shaft. The raised area on the pivot shaft next to the head will press fit into the liner and prevent the pivot from spinning when adjusting the blade tension. If you are not using a reamer, buy one. You will never achieve tight tolerances using only a drill bit to make your pivot holes.
The screw is #6 with 64 threads per inch. The high number of threads make it easy to adjust the blade tension. The thread is non-standard.

.250" Stainless Pivot Bushing:
![]()
Like our pivots, our bushings are machined to very tight tolerances of -0.0 to +.0002". This pivot is made from 416 stainless steel and heat treated full hard to approximately HRC 42. All our pivots are professionally heat treated in a vacuum furnace. This leaves the pivots with a shiny surface. When getting items heat treated, you get what you pay for.
Ream the blade pivot hole with a .2500" reamer. The blade will move freely on the bushing. The inside diameter is .1250".
Place the bushing in the pivot hole on the blade and surface grind both pieces together. When you have ground the blade & bushing to the desired thickness, remove the bushing from the pivot hole. Then grind an additional .001" from the blade. When assembled the blade will have .0005" clearance on each side.
Use our .125" barrel pivot PS125 in the bushing. When assembling the folder, tighten the pivot screws until the liners are tight against the bushing. The extra .001" bushing width will provide the clearance needed for the blade to move.

Vibra-Tite VC-3 is a different kind of thread locker/sealer. Most thread lockers are good for one use. As soon as the screw is turned, the thread locker is broken and must be reapplied. Screws assembled with VC-3 can be disassembled and reassembled up to five times without reapplying. This means you can adjust pivot screws without worrying about the screw coming loose later.VC-3 is a blend of acrylic resins. Apply VC-3 to threads and allow to dry for 30 minutes. After the locker/sealer dries the fastener is ready to use.
We recommend thinning VC-3 50/50 with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) when using on small screws.
