Ok so the chinese screw vendor another member here said would provide the right size screws for cheap turned out to be a bust. So we carry on with the Ti Connector batch, I will probably order the screws next weekend and expect to have them the following week so I can start packing and shipping them out to people whom want them. I will probably do like 5 orders at a time to take the stress off of anodizing, packing and shipping all at once. This will be a first come first serve basis, I will post a thread and take 5 orders then fill those orders and post another thread for the next batch, rinse, repeat you get the idea.
In other news I did a thing and ordered this crazy expensive custom screw cutter specifically made for cutting knife screws. Initially the main idea of this tool is t…

In other news I did a thing and ordered this crazy expensive custom screw cutter specifically made for cutting knife screws. Initially the main idea of this tool is to be able to cut the Ti Connector Pivot screws quickly and cleanly so I dont have to grind them down on my belt grinder anymore which always sucks but the cutters may come in handy down the road for other projects as well. So this means theoretically I could do full Ti screw sets for the Rosies.
As some of you know the Ti connector 3/8 pivot screws do not quite fill out the counterbore on the rosie clones so there is a gap there, if you can live with the gap its an easy ordeal but if you want no gap I have to use the 5/16 screws and 1/2“ Pivot collars, the collars have to be hand ground down to size and right now the only way I have to do that is a belt grinder, its not ideal and I cant get exact specs on the collars consistently so this is a bit of a gamble to do it this way for me. I do charge for the hand grinding obviously but its an option if you really want it. I did it for a member here once already on his XL and the last pic shows the results of that.
Whew this is a lot of typing 🫣 anyhow I’m going to move forward with this project and get you fuckers some Ti Hardware for your Rosies Mmkay. Sheeze just say that right...
