Thickness of sak liners

Hi everyone

I would like to cut my own 91mm and 93mm liners from brass sheets.

My donor victims have not yet arrived and therefore I am not able to measure myself. But since I want to order the sheets already, I have to ask you guys:

How thick are the alu liners in the 91mm and 93mm saks and how thick should the brass be?

Thanks & greets

I use 0.032 inch (0.8 mm) thick brass, but that is thicker than stock but I do it because I like that look. Stock 91mm liners are 0.028" (0.75mm). Alox liners are the thinnest with 93mm ones are 0.025" (0.65mm). I use 0.032 for all 93mm work I do, but 0.020" (0.5mm) for 84mm size.

Hope thats enough info for you to order something.

Thank you very much!

I just ordered .5mm, .8mm and 2mm (to try making scales).

Awesome!

Sorry if Im remembering wrong but was it you that was asking before about putting 91mm scissors on an 84mm but with the normal 2.2mm size pivots? I normally drill them out to 1/8 for my mods, but im building a modern 84mm cellidor golfer and I just put together a standard scissors layer to work with the normal 2.2mm pivots and it worked great. Im just taking pics for a writeup on it that I will post later today.

Cheers and please post any mod work you do, I love that the mod section here is so active now!

That sounds great!
I was able to score a 84mm scissor on the bay and I'm currently waiting for it to serve as blueprint.

I already have some ideas that are being worked on in my head. They change tool layout and frame size on a daily basis :-)
