Cutting a True one stick

[A2rhino 63]

I did a search and found nothing so if this has been a thread prior, sorry. I finally broke my True 1 last night and want to know if I can cut it down and use as a shaft and blade combo. If so, please tell me how to do it.

Thanks in advane

Thanks Bad Kitty. Do you think I would be best off to have my LHS do it?

I dont know if they will... its too much of a risk.

Im just not sure where to cut it at. Does it matter?

I agree with BK - doubt any shop would do it bc if they ruin your shaft.... besides, you're likely to spend more by buying a new one. Also, don't you think they should charge you for the service of cutting the OPS, hollowing it out, and fitting it properly for a tapered blade? There was a topic about this a while back questioning whether this kind of service could take off or not, but I digress.

I seriously, seriously doubt any LHS would convert an ops with a broken blade for you (unless their solution was merely to flip it and put a standard blade in the handle end).

And honestly.. I doubt they would do it.

As for the flipping it, I dont really recommend it either. I did it with an old synergy I had and I HATED it... felt weird and very blade heavy.

We are told to tell people to flip it over and use the butt end at my shop. The tapered thing is "too risky and could have a possibility of an angry customer". Plus you never know you could get sued, I mean hey if some stupid lady can spill coffee on herself....

All good points, thank you. I would have no problem paying for the service of someone doing it as long as they know what their doing. I also wouldnt expect someone to gaurntee the work. I mean its a chop job. So with that said, would you suggest I just scrap the shaft and get a new stick. I would at least try it but dont have the tools and I dont know where to cut it. I have seen that people sell these shaft from OPS on ebay alot.

BS. Been doing it for years.

Exactly my thoughts. I don't know a LHS who wouldn't do it for you, and most have at least one person who can cut straight and work it so that they can give you a quality job mounting the new blade.

I figured someone would do it. What is the going rate? $20.00
