I got back a quote that was reasonable if I had lots of money.It was for phros.bronze .5 by .1875 hole that were .031 thick at 1.81 each based on 100 quanity. 181.00 dollars I would pay 2 bucks ea but cant get the 100 quan. I order some "PRECISION" washers cut but one of our knife supply companies. They are .005 x 7/16 x3/16 Took them all out of the bag and "PRECISION" is the last word I would use to describe them. Whatever tool was used to cut them was not sharp enough. Most arent flat and most have flask on them. I was going to put them on my surface plate with some w/d 600 paper to true them but I would have to do the entire bag. Not real happy with them. I havent notified the Supplier yet so I wont flame them here. YET ~ LOL

Boker's washers are always perfect. I have ordered 1000s of washers from them and never had a single bad one. Usually around 250 pieces is the least number that makes much sense to order.
One thing about making folders: everything you need costs a lot of money! :-) __________________ www.wilkins-knives.com www.wilkins.de |

Cowboy,
I made a punch for my washers cause I was having the same problem you cats were having. If you want I can make you a single washer punch, (it will have Id and Od all on one punch) for 35 bucks. It will punch out a precision washer from bronze or nylotron. Otherwise I can punch you out some washers myself from .015 bronze or .015 nylotron for 20 pennies a pair. Did I hear someone mention homebrew???? Rock on kids, Jeremy |

has anybody tried Cris Crawfords methoud? Haven't gotten into folders deep enough to try it yet. So far I've been buying premade nylatron washers, there cheap enough I haven't been that interested in making my own.

Check out http://www.espemfg.com/index.htm About 3 years ago, I purchased 6,000 nyltron washers .375 X .188 X .016 for $100.00 plus shipping.
