Triple"B"S Knife Lock Build Series - Part 2 - Knife Making With Fusion 360 & Tormach 1100MX Media
Published: 3 years ago
Triple"B"S Knife Lock Patent No. US 10,981,283. Duplicating the CAM for the mirror image left handle slab and machining the mirror image left handle slab. Part 2 in the journey to complete the CNC model of this knife.
Tormach 1100MX Knife Making Series
If you are looking for something different than the standard Frame Lock or Liner Lock folding knife designs, check out this new Triple"B"S knife lock to add variety to the folding knife locking mechanisms available today. I am taking this design from prototype to production with my new Tormach 1100MX CNC Mill. This second video in the series goes through the duplication of Setups and machining operations (CAM) and machining the left handle slab. The goal was not to break any cutters this time, and we only broke 1 so came close. The blade is CPM154 Stainless and the Handle Slabs are 6AL4V Grade 5 Titanium.
The Triple"B"S Lock Mechanism - short for Bud Beets Ball Slide - is my own design and is available for lease or other licensing agreement.
Thanks to the Titans of CNC FaceBook group for helping me clean up my tool paths. Also thank you to NYCNC for all of your great Fusion 360 videos that have helped me get this far.
Work holding with Glacern Machine Tools 4" CNC vise. GARR End Mills used in this video. CPM154 Blade Steel purchased from Tru-Grit.
Thank you for watching!
