Does anyone know whether the r2 xn10 intermediate shaft takes senior blades or junior blades? Thanks

jsut be carefull not to overheat them.

What are you using to heat them up? i always use a heat gun, and it works great. just heat up the blade and shaft for 30 seconds - 1 min each, and slide it in.

i dont have a heat gun i usually just use my stove. how do you know if its overheated?

hmm...after a couple tries im pretty sure the senior blade wont fit in the int. shaft

is there anything i can do to help it go in...like shave it a little or something? cause ive tried to push it in and its definately not going in

That's weird doesn't the R2 have one of the thinner hosels compared to other blades? I fit a XV and Inno blade in my R2xn10 int with no problems. Maybe go ask your LHS to give you a hand?

i dunno...ill try a junior blade and see what happens. Anyways thanks for all the help

can someone with an r2 xn10 int. shaft tell me the length of the stick? without the plug? thanks in advance

The int. is a little under 48" w/o the plug. And yeah I have a senior R2 blade in my int. xn10, and it took a good effort to get it in there, but it does fit. I was jumping up and down putting all my weight onto it, then i had my friend slam the blade onto the floor many many times before it finally went in completely.

However I would like to hear you junior blade attempt, as I wouldn't mind saving a little money getting JR blades for the shaft if they do fit..
