polyc to large?

[curtainguy]

i finished my el saber today, it came out great, he only problem was that the poly c was slightly too large to fit in the blade holder, is this a common problem?

How long have you held on that the holder? I know Tim had a problem with that when he got his shipment of PolyC a while ago. I remember it coming up with LEDs but I don't see why it couldn't have been a problem with EL too.

Sometimes it's off by a hair (.001" or something stupidly small).[:(]

that must be it because i got the holder over a month or two ago and the polyc just came in today. it saddened me, but i filed the end of the polyc to make it fit, its all good.

Yup, that'll do it. As long as it wasn't too much filing there shouldn't be a problem and Tim is aware that the PolyC he got a bit ago was slightly different.

Yup.. The new polyc would not fit into the holders. I make sure I machine the holders if anyone orders blade materials along with them. Hard to tell who has the old holders though.

Tim I noticed on the poly-c that I just received the the ends where slightly enlargered at the cut point, I had to sand down the ridge at the edge to make it fit the holder.

Don't make me destroy you...

Yup..thats do to the manufacturer cutting them with some sort of pipe cutter instead of a saw. Next time I order I hope to avoid that.
