shaving blade tenons

[cds 0]

Can this be done with a graphite/composite blade? Seems like it would work if you were careful, and as long as the tenon isn't hollow. Has anyone tried?

It works on wood, but I've never seen it done on composite.

Yes it work on composite, I did it 4-5 time on inno blades, and it won't affect the durability.

A buddy of mine tried it and it snapped the tenon off in the shaft. Then again he has a better than average shot.

It depends how large he shaves, if he shave the blade too much like I've done last time, it will broke immat your first slap

i've done it to an inno blade and an easton. i used a sanding drum on a dremel and went really slow. as long as you shave each side the same amount and evenly they can last. make sure you have a square lip to rest up against the shaft lip. if you don't they'll snap faster.

i've done it to a few of my blades

it really depends on which blade

don't do it to the easton composites, they have a foam core (as i found out when it cracked on me)

the v60 exploded on my 2nd shot

shaving it seems to take a little durability off. i'd advise not to.
