De greasing blades

[rob39]

Hi all
Recently had problems with Blades slipping/coming out of the blade clamps (gives a hell of to shock to the system when it happens lol ) Anyone have any ideas on best way of de greasing the blades??

Hi Rob
easiest is to just give them a wee rub with sandpaper. Are you using quick clamp? Sometimes the wee nut at the side needs a bit of adjustment with an allen key if it is starting to slip? I went through a stage of having problems with slipping blades, and tried everything to degrease them, but it was actually the quick clamp that was the problem

Yea was using a quick clamp but broke it by over tightening. Just making some of these but didn't think to use sandpaper lol
