The blade on my vector 120 OPS is crap now so im cutting it off. Im not sure where to cut it off though to put a tapered blade in there. Can anybody help me at all?

man check the search. but you should be able to see the fuse point. start a little before that(closer to the blade) once u hit the fuse point, u should be able to put a tapered blade in it. u might have to hollow out the shaft.

there is no fuse point on the vectors, and you cant put a tapered blade in with out first effing wround with both the shaft and the blade. If youre absolutely devoted to the stick, put a blade in the butt end, otherwise, scrap it and move forward/

Buzz is right - there is no fuse point. However, I was able to make mine into a shaft, and I'm not the only one who's done so. There's a topic around here where it is discussed. The inside of the V120 is not even because it's vacuum formed, but it's possible (in fact, it was kind of easy - there's no hollowing out involved - just keep cutting upwards until the tapered blade fits). I haven't used it yet, however, so I don't know if the uneven interior walls will cause any problem with the blade shifting around at all.

I stand corrected on my last reply..... I put the blade in it, and it started to split the shaft (as it turns out, the 120C means it's contoured in some fashion - the for front of the shaft is narrower than the rear making it shaped like a trapezoid - hence the split). I shaved the blade down a bit to adjust, but in the end, the first time I used it, the blade snapped right at the connection point.

A 120T might not have the same issue, as I understand the shaft is a traditional rectangular shape.
