so I've searched everywhere for setting detents and there's many options, placing a smaller hole in the blade same spot the detent is. placing it a couple of thousands further, and so on.
Somehow, I managed to get the same spot detent in quite a decent action (with help from forums) but i noticed that
one, my detent isn't making that good a flipper.
two, the blade isn't sucked in when you're trying to close it.
any tips and tricks specially for the latter?
on the other hand, what size goes best with a given length of a lock? I ask this because (as i sort of remember from school) you have and increased pressure on small surfaces (assuming you have the same force applied by the lock). So what works best for flippers in these two?
thanks in advance, and sorry if there's something related to this somewhere else
