Can a normal blade go in a tapered shaft?

[kkancho 6]

I'm new to the whole tapered shaft concept so I'm wondering if I can put a normal blade in a tapered shaft.

youd either have to put it in wherer he butt end would be or shave down your blade to make it fit in the tapered end

yes, it *could* be done. one of my friends put a shaved standard r2 wood blade in a tapered novius. he only used it for a practice before it broke though.

edit: it probably was a prostock wood blade. i knew it was made by tps but i just couldn't remember the name

A shaved standard r2 wood? That makes no sense because an R2 wood is tapered to begin with and wouldn't have to be shaved.

Maybe he is talking about one of the tps prostock blades??

Short answer, no.

Long answer, you would have to shave down the blade tenon to get it to fit in the shaft.

i'm pretty sure you can but it really defeats the purpose of getting a tapered shaft in the first place.

yes you can, put the blade on the other end of the shaft, since tapered shaft are 3-4 inch longer than standard, you should not need end plug so you could be okay..

i recomend not shaving it, i've done it before and it snapped in two shots.
