Buzz_LightBeer 973 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 hey guys, i have once removed the blade of a Vapor XX OPS, but i dont remember where the fuse point was. i searched but didnt see anything conclusive. Short story long: i scored a vapor XX from the admirals with no blade, it is LH and was cut in the taper. there is no definite paint flaw where the fuse point would be, but if anyone has removed the blade, could you kindly tell me whereabouts it is. id like to remove the blade and/or cut it as close to there as possible.the fore hand side reads like this:___________________###############|##############U|########0.470###| <--- cut there##############C|___________________|my apologies if this is posted somewhere, thanks for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 I believe the fuse point on mine goes right through the 7 and the 0. And that's on the side where the 0.470 is closer to the blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 Not sure if the TFG/XX have a foam core inside the shaft. If they don't you could just take out the endplug (I guess it's just plastic on the XX), use a thin wooden or metal bar that is smaller than the inner shaft. By putting the bar into the shaft you will be able to "feel" the top of the tenon. when you can't put the bar in any further (=fusepoint reached), make a mark on the bar, pull it out, put it next to the shaft with the mark alining with the end of the shaft and you can see where the tenon has it's exact end from the outside.Maybe I made it sound difficult, but it's really easy if there is no foam in the shaft.

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 On the XX's I've had, if you look at the top and bottom of the stick, you should be able to see at least where it's close to. The weave turns black where they fused it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to get pics tonight.http://www.pifiu.com/upload/uploads/032004/Mini-1100.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is between the 4 and the 7. If you just cut on the 7, it should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
