    Default Looking for custom blade

    Afternoon everybody, I am looking for a custom sized blade. I.D. 1.130 O.D. 1.310 length is ok at 40 inches. Would also need a end cap. Can be a thin wall, just for a prop, non dualing.

    Thanks

    People that are not in the plastic industry working out of a factory, don't make custom polycarbonate tubes (but they can make custom blade tips). This means that you are stuck with whatever internal and external diameters various plastics companies offer. If in the US, that usually mean diameters that are in 1/8"s of an inch (.125") increments, in the UK, that means metric, probably in 2mm increments. Also, it it extremely difficult to get metric polycarbonate tubes in the U.S without ordering in bulk. I hope that helps.

    I can work with that �� any idea on a company that makes blades? I can always put in a lathe and turn down.

    This forum is linked to a store. As such, it would be bad form (and it's also not allowed) to promote or advertise the competition. Even if it's not the same dimensions as a similar product being offered by The Custom Saber Shop. However for the tube itself, many online plastic vendors sell polycarbonate tubes. Just Google polycarbonate tube and you'll find a few. Also there are other saber forums that are not linked to stores. I'm not sure I can mention them here but if you find them, more info can be given to this same question.

    Unless you really want a thicker blade for some reason, it's probably easier to make an adapter. If you got your self some 1.25x1" aluminum you could make a 1" blade work with perhaps a bit of aluminum tape or epoxy to fill the gap if necessary. Alternatively you could 3D print an adapter.
