This is my first attempt at building a saber. I ordered the "LED "TCSS style" Battle blade 1" OD (40 inches)" and the "Screw on LED blade holder style 4". Let me first say that the blade holder is a real quality piece of machining! But how snug a fit should it be? I ask this because mine is so snug that I can't insert the blade all the way into the blade holder without fear of breaking something. Is this normal and should I use some kind of lubricant?
My second question regards the screw used to hold the blade. I bought some of the nylon screws (4-40 Nylon Screws) from TCSS, but they seems to be too short. Fully tightened, the screw doesn't seems to come into contact with the blade. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
