Blade replacement

Recommended Posts

Is there a safe way to put a blade with. 365 opening on a .310 shaft?

Wanted to replace old creased blade with a new blade.  Or am I stretching the bounds of science16785728315711285720311823452599.thumb.jpg.22614bd3072b95cf05d3d018074f06d3.jpg16785728616871859834806575357872.thumb.jpg.589f0f72b308139fc5834da57c686e04.jpg16785729151823575792155309999370.thumb.jpg.d703e4e1852cb8ba35a1f4dc13562fb2.jpg16785729413441963744430855274312.thumb.jpg.9871777e285abfd495cead9c81549ad1.jpg

You're not stretching the bounds of science, you're committing sacrilege.  That is an authentic cast Eck hub, you can replace the wings and still have a reasonable chance to get into Heaven.  I was in this situation once with the very same blade. I had the wings replaced and made peace with my maker.

You might even have the blades removed,slip rolled and re-riveted.

Dave Dalsin used to have an English Wheel to roll wings (flatten the creases). Dave has health issues is no longer with us. Last, I recall, Nick Loos had one, but if he is still doing blade/guard work, he would probably recommend replacing the wings.

Don't go there then. There are people who do brass work here, and doing that you HAVE been there. Lol.

Jim, find out if the spider was custom made on the brass wing example, or, what did that black hub spider come off from?  You own both of these blades.
