Jensen blade failure !

Rear bearing

I have aftermarket blades on my Greenmech and they haven't failed. Maybe the blades arnt hardened properly and I've been lucky but there not new. So leads me to think either you had a bad batch or it was caused by something else. Hope you get it sorted .

IM not sure to sure to be honest im gona go pull it out the garage and have a more detailed look , had the worst most unsympathetic customer in the world yesterday aswell so was trying to complete the hob to at least earn something , you thinking the cos of the movement ? Rather than the blade ? If that was the case then surely they would have hit the anvil ?

[defenderjack]

Although the flywheel has turned away from the anvil if you get what i mean

Thing is if that was the case then there would be damage to the anvil but it looks fine ,but that did cross my mind il put a pick up of how for the rear bearing housing is away from the right hand bolt

 

I wouldn't read too much into that, the fiywheel is likely to have moved during the blade incident. I have seen bearing housings smashed, blades shattered, flywheels bent and any other damage in between, that machine looks like an easy fix to me

That's good to know. I guess sorting the blade pocket is a bit tricky though ??

I suppose it depends on the individuals skill level but its only a bit of mild steel welding and the judicious application of a big hammer.

 

The flywheel might need ballancing

I would venture that it's a distinct possibility that the flywheel moved and cause the blade to smash.

I may be wrong, but it's a possibility.
