Master #3 picked and stripped

by **mongo** » 9 Apr 2008 15:20

I have lots of free time it seems. what lock should I try next. I made the hook I needed, no pic of it, but it worked nice and slick. I don't think that I coulod feel ea pin etc put whatever I did, I heard the click. I was so listening for it that I did not notice my tension lever moving, I thought I was going to drop it when the shacle popped. here are a couple of master 3 cutaways I made. I really am getting into this.

My God, the patience you cutaway crafters have.

I suppose i'll be the one to be brutally honest here...

That didn't turn out so well guy. There are plenty of threads here regarding cut-away's of all types including the laminated one you have shown. Take a look around, get some good ideas going and maybe try putting a lot more time into one.

I will give you credit for the effort though. Good job on that!

all, as a semi-retired mechanic I needed a hobby. I found lp101. learning whats inside a lock is really important. I didn't plan to be a cut away guy. I just wanted to see what was inside and how it worked. Took a couple of pics ...
as for missing the stripper gag, well, maybe I am still wound to tight. its funnier after the fact too.

thanx for playing

I watched "how its made" last night on the discovery channel, one segment was the making of a master laminated padlock, but this one they were making was different from any I have seen,

It had the locking ball system, but it was not the US DG version which is the only ball dog locking system I have seen by master,

this lock on the show, also hade an octogon cross section to the shackle which is normally round. I have not seen that on a master lock before and its rare on most locks.

It also had 'drawn' caps on each end of the lamination stack. another thing I had not seen before on a master..

the segment on pinning the cylinders did not reveal anything special in terms of pins.

Yea I also saw that episode, it was a wierd master lock I never seen before maybe they havent released it yet or somthing. well heres a picture of a master lock cutaway I made not to long ago

amaze 1, what did you use to cut thru the laminates? your uncovering of the stack is how I wanted to finish the stack, but I got to close and its now frankenlock. looking for a small wafer to look inside, any ideas .

tks

I used a dremel for all my cutting but in a special order/technique.

by **Eyes_Only** » 11 Apr 2008 9:07

Battery powered or one with power socket cable? Cos I burned up my battery powered one in less than a month to the point that now it won't take a full charge. Though I'm pretty sure I was using it improperly.

also its a good idea when using a rotary tool for intricate detail, that you use a variable speed model and if you only have a single high speed model you can pick up a pedal attachment that varies the speed.

by **mongo** » 11 Apr 2008 16:08

the diameter of the bit your using will determine speed. If you use a small ball die you can crank up the rpm to max. If on the other hand you put on a cutting disc you will have to pull it back to 1/2 rpm at least.
The larger diameters (discs) are like using oversize tires on your car, you go faster with less effort but your speedo is totaly out of synch. If the discs spin to fast they will come apart, everywhere.
I do like the foot peddle idea, kinda like a TIG welder.
