Which it sounds like he did, the only option there is to drill and tap a larger hole. 10-32 for instance if he originally used an 8-32. Otherwise its time for a new BH...Quote:

Le sigh.
I thought you'd say that. How about drilling another hole and re tapping on the opposite side and have a set screw in the original hole to fill it. Or drill holes equidistant all the way around and have the thumb screw on the other side?
Seem a waste to get a new one when you could just be creative.
Sanding the inside wont increace the id of the blade holder, it'll just deburr the thread in side. I did this with my maul conversion and it looks quite cool IMO
I agree there shouldn't be enough change on the id of the emitter to cause the blades to be loose. Although, it kind of depends on what exactly happened to the emitter...did the burr leave some scratches on the inside of the emitter or are they more like gouges?
ouch...sorry to hear that.
Looks good! Keep it up!:D
Word of Advice man. LUBE YOUR THREADS! they can get stuck pretty easily, just use some WD-40 or any type of thread oil. trust me you will thank me later. :rolleyes: i had a bad experiance to were i ALMOSt had to buy a new V-grip and Number Six Blade Holder beacuse they would not come apart. luckily i was able to get them apart cleaned up the threads and applied some lubricating oil and Bingo! Never got stuck again.
other than the warning Great Saber man keep up the good work. And i know what you mean about upgrading the look and stuff over time. i allready have plans for mine.
