Jensen blade failure !

[defenderjack]

I would say its reparable and glad no one was hurt. I have never used aftermarket blades and have never had one go on me, may be luck or my be not!

 

Yeh ive gota say i only used genuine in a past timberwolf and never had any problems, been qouted 2500 for a new flywheel as not sure seat the blade sits in is repairable and the theres a a chunk missing futher round plus two hairline cracks in the engine side of the flywheel which you can see in the second pic ,

Thanks mate , it sorta borderline is it worth it ? , by the time the machine is pulled apart to see the extent of what welding needs doing and new bearings etc plus labour its a lot of money ! Feeling very sorry for self tonight ! Maybe the wife will buy me a new one for fathers day

Accidental damage cover?....

How old is the machine? Pull it apart and get it to an engineering shop and you might be pleasently supprised.

Glad it weren't a TW that broke, I couldn't stand the put downs.

Lol yeh that would have been embarrisng for you , regardless of this happening i think its a cracking machine its a 2001 and ive had it along side my mates 2014 tw 150 and its output is no different , that being said i would quite happly buy another timberwolf i used to to have an entec so im gona carry on sitting on the fence and remain impartial !!

Is rotatek same as saturn knifes?

 

Always stay genuine.

 

Sure flywheel cracks can be welded and check for balance etc... Could even get a new blade pocket made up and welded back on.... Its only the same as it was made!

 

As for the hole, cut part of the pushed out metal away, tap rest back flush and patch with a plate

Rotatech !

 

 

I had three sets of genuine blades shatter on my Jensen earlier this year, machine only couple of years old - Redwood stripped and rebuilt for £££'s they blamed copper grease on fixing bolts but I still think blades were faulty batch.
