Hi have any of you guys ever tryed to cut the blade off of a broken wood stick if so how did it turn out?

Thnx

i have never done it, but i think it might work, you would have to file it down so it would fit in the shaft, gotta try that next time i snap a woody in half

i do it all the time. If i find broken sticks in the rink with good condition blades i take em and file the hossel down.

for as much of a PITA as it is, just get a new blade, id say

has anyone actually filed one down? is it a pain. just easier to buy a new one. or is it worth it and they last well?

[Guest Datsyuk*13]

Talk to leafs 12 i think its pretty easy though you have to be carefull you dont file to much though. Leafs12(jason)

what jason has filed down a blade your sure about that?

[Guest LEAFS12]

Ya, its easy just measure it out where i want it (remembering about the part that goes in the shaft) then just shave it down with a file(which takes forever ) then just get some glue of any kind and put it in. Ive done it once but it is very easy to do, but its time consuming.

[Guest LEAFS12]

I think it is worth the time rather then buying a new blade.

[Guest Datsyuk*13]

Yah im gonna try that there is always blades in good condition at my local hockey rink.

hmmmmm

when i snap my z-carbon (which i hopefully bust ion half) come over and show me leafs12

[Guest LEAFS12]

Its not a hard concept

I've used a table saw, saves alot of time & energy.

Belt sander would work too.

I used to do this all the time because Easton does not make a Euro curve. I'd but a new Montrreal M95 and cut down the hosel and sand the tenon to fit the Synthesis shaft. The tric is to get the tenon the correct thickness. I found that if I put the blade in a vice and used a belt sander that made the job easier. Also a set of calipers to compare the thickness of the blade your working on to your desired thicknes keeps you from sanding off too much. You can buy heat glue at any craft store or Wal Mart

i suppose if you didn't file it down too much you could use tape to make it fit? or would that make the blade feel soft?

[Guest LEAFS12]

Ya I will try that next time cause shaving it down takes forever.
