Cutting OPS at fuse point.....

[hrbekroenick 0]

I'd say maybe 3mm roughly I might be able to chisel another layer out but I'm not sure

Work a chisel in there carefully, I am guessing you can get another very thin layer out.

thanks for the input but i dont think i cut high enough can who has converted the dolo spyne please post some pics of it?

[Scotty 8]

ok so i cut the blade off my dolomite spyne hd and i managed to chisel out the tenon but a tapered blade wouldn't fit. So I cut another 3/4 of an inch and it still would not fit how much higher roughly will i have to cut?

The Spyne taper is much longer than Warrior's normal, so you'll likely have to go up much higher. Either you can compensate for this with a very long end plug or just flip the shaft (yes, I know that messes with your kickpoint).

total ones are really easy. just cut at right place to let tapered blade in 13x26mm
T1s are great for cutting because they are mid-kick and the shaft doesn't lose it's features

has anyone tried a covert dt1 yet?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Dagger Taper sticks will not work. You're going to have to flip it.

[jlp15 13]

Sounds good thanks for the reply

how about the TPS R10?

[Neal 41]

I tried a TPS R10 without luck. I tried heat and pull and got no where, even using a slide hammer. I also tried cutting the blade off at what I thought was the joint and pushing it out of the shaft and up in to the shaft. Neither worked.

I think the shaft narrowed internally above the blade. Maybe the walls were thicker as part of the PTC concept? The piece of rebar that normally works for me to push blades out of tapered OPS got jammed in the R10.

bummer. i love that stick.

hows the response plus to convert? just found some on hockey giant and for 70 bucks figured why not. no idea what the curves going to be like so looking to make some shafts anybody done these?

No problems at all with them, assuming they are the original models and not something new. It's the same shaft as the original Response.

[jlp15 13]

yeah there old pro stocks I'm guessing it's the original model. Heat and pull or chisel?

[Chadd 916]

I think I pulled one and cut the other above the hosel.

[jlp15 13]

perfect thanks Chadd appreciate the input

Had some success pulling blades recently, working on a walkthrough for doing it.

[Machinehead2k5 32]

anyone have success with a CCM Vector?

[Chadd 916]

No, those have a longer (18") taper than most other sticks and the interior corners are rounded off.

[jlp15 13]

Just did 4 TPS xn10 pro stocks can't believe how easy that was heat pull done.

[Stewie 721]

anyone done this with any of the miken sticks? particularly the mv3 or razor? search of the topic didnt pull up any results.

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

Tried an MV-5 with no luck

Happy to report that I had successfully chiseled out a broken blade in a friend's Warrior Dynasty stick. Here's the procedure that worked very well for me:

- Located a fuse point and cut the broken blade off just above the point

- Had a set of different point chisels ready and secured the stick in a vice-grip

- Used a heat gun for about 2-3 minutes and heated the end of the stick in the area of the broken blade uniformly all around

- Start working the chisel (different width) on all four sides to separate the blade material from the inside of the shaft carefully

- Every minute, reheat the stick for 30 seconds and keep working the chisels around the perimeter until the blade material starts to peel away

- Would work a thick flat screwdriver in to push the blade pieces down the shaft until the length of the hosel is clean

The whole process took about 20 minutes as I was trying to be careful. I'll snap a photo tomorrow and post it to show the final result.

The final product of the procedure on the Warrior Dynasty. Apologize for the quality of the photos - taken with my phone.

Hey, so I've searched through this topic pretty throughly I feel, and I still cant figure out if this'll work on a vapor X 7.0? Anyone have any dea if it would?

No, it doesn't really work with that type of stick construction.
