Abus 65/40 Cutaway Padlock

by **Chrispy** » 21 Sep 2005 0:18

After an hour of cutting and grinding, I finally finished my Abus 65/40 cutaway padlock. I could never pick these things (I have three) and always wondered why. Now I know. :roll:

The Abus 65/40 untouched:

The Abus 65/40 finished:

The Abus 65/40 chambers vertical:

The four spool pins that gave me headaches for so long (chambers 2, 3, 4 and 5)

In any case, it's a nice lock to add to the collection.

Yup, first cutaway lock. Does it meet your high standards?

Wow Chrispy! Considering that you didn't remove the pins & springs, you did a good job of leaving them unmolested. Good work.

*Holds breath in anticipation of Skold's pics...*

Anyone seen the Holy Grail yet? :wink:

I had to replace the spring in chamber 4 with one from my pin kit. :oops:

pics...OHHHHH

heres my second cutaway.. made with hacksawness

What did you use to grind out the window? Dremel?

by **Chrispy** » 25 Sep 2005 4:45

I'm assuming you removed the core to "hacksawness" the pin chambers and then grinded the square out of the padlock body? I'll try an IC padlock next time, seemd to be an easier choice than a non-IC extruded padlock.

yeh it was a dremel..but those days of using primitive tools such as the dremel are over...now i use the UBER COOOL MILLING MACHINE

removable cores are the easiest option.. but i can make a little abus into a sexy cut-away also

Why thankyou

by **Mad Mick** » 26 Sep 2005 17:59

Actually, that's <censored> good skold. Guess you're not that lazy after all. :wink:

by **skold** » 26 Sep 2005 18:55

Yeah i seem to have cured my lazyness temporarily.

I feel like making a medeco and lockwood cutaway sometime soon.
