Hey all,

I’m building a Graflex ANH saber with proffieboard v2, Goth’s inner chassis and the 7/8” Graflex Bladeholder Deluxe V2. For the saber I bought the 7/8" Thin walled Trans White PolyC 40" long with foam and tip:

Also bought LED strips from TCSS. I built the hilt and saber and when it came time to put the blade into the holder, I found that it doesn’t fit. The blade is apparently slightly bigger than 7/8”. I should have, of course, tried the fit before building anything but I’ve used the graflex bladeholder before with other 7/8” blades (from Vader’s vault) and have never had a problem. I have a 7/8” blade plug that fits perfectly. Has anyone else had this experience?

I can get the blade into the bladeholder about 1/4” and then it just won’t budge. Not sure if I should ask TCSS for a refund. I emailed TCSS and Josh said he wasn’t familiar with this bladeholder and that maybe I should sand the inside of it to make it larger. My inclination is to sand the bottom of the blade instead and make it smaller so it will fit. But I’m not sure that will work.

If anyone has any thoughts/ideas/experience, I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks!
Jake
