black hills tj 5 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 Will a standard or tapered blade fit into a warrior dolomite shaft from a broken OPS? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black hills tj 5 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 noThanks for the quick response Chadd. I wasn't sure if either a standard or tapered blade would fit at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 There are a few caveats though; you could if you flipped it or if you cut it high enough but it will not perform at anywhere near the same level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.The dolo shaft is cut to 45" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickennecker 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 if you flip it, which i dont recomend, a standard blade will fit.a tapered blade will fit into the broken end once you cut it clean and possible heat and pull out any remaining tenon. if it broke above the tenon of the ops blade and the blade is still good, you can also heat and pull the blade and reuse the blade. done both of these many times.
