I've found some blades that fit a heli that I no longer own. I have another heli that they will fit in length but the blade grips are narrower than the blade root.

Has anyone found a cost effective solution to cutting the root down and ending up with a surface that is perpendicular to the blade mounting hole? Other than setting them up in an industrial milling machine that is.

The blades are V-Blade 710 mm that have a raised fiberglass(?) washer glued/glassed(?) to them at the root. I have found that the brass tube in the blade mounting hole can be easily removed, cut down and reinstalled.

I would also be interested in comments on "milling" down only one face of the root. Can this make anything lopsided?

Thanks in advance for everyone who responds.

This hobby is WAY too expensive!!
