synthesis fix?

When I try to put tape inside the shaft to prevent it from coming loose, the tape always comes out (it gets pushed out of place)...

what am i doing wrong? how can i prevent the blade from becoming loose?

thanks in advance.

You actually put the tape on the hosel of the blade, not inside the shaft.

did you wrap it in a U shape on both sides of the insert.

if you put tape on one side it will just slide off

i think the U shape is what i was missing. i did try to put the tape on the blade (1 side) and it obviously kept sliding off. i'll try out the U shape. thanks for the info... i just assumed it would have been too tight...

Mad paint skills indeed!

If doing the full U shape is too tight, but no tape is too loose, you can do a half U shape where the part going on to of the tenon ends right in the middle of the tenon and doesn't run down the second side. I did that with a PTC blade in my M-2 and it worked like a charm.

It saves the hassle of having to explain the whole process though. I think i'll save it to my HD in case someone asks again :D

LOL That looks so old school, I just put as much glue as I can on it and it usually works for me. I like that more than the tape thing, but thats just my prefferance.
