Can I remove the Wusthof name plate? Does it rotate a bit and any clearance to get a tool underneath. Want to replace it with something else. Thanks.

Shouldn't be too hard to pry off; depends on how well it's glued or pinned. The block I own has the brand carved into the block, so can't advise other than speculation. If you are replacing, consider that the block might possibly have to be slightly sanded to remove residue(s) and a specific glue will have to be used to adhere the "something else" or if pinned, there's the hole to deal with.....

No that will not help because the screws are threaded into the base not the plate. You could try loctite(threadlocker) on the screws or get longer screws and put a nut on from underneath. It looks likes there is room.

You have to flip piece around other way and it fits. The raised nub/part instead of being on shaft side, once flipped is pointing towards the shaft, then it holds blade in place. At least that's what we had to do. Oh, I believe you have to unscrew that stem thing you are talking about. It stays off when blade is in place. Once you remove that you should understand what I'm talking about.

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

Use a dowel pin type of thing or anything solid that will fit in the floor plate hole and not bend. They sell a special tool for Ruger that works great also. Just be sure to do things slow and have the Pearce grip ready to go on and don't let the spring pop out. If it would come out it isn't that hard to put things back together.Keep your finger over the spring etc. slide the old plate off and the new Pearce on. You will hear the bottom button snap in place to lock.

Dremmel/grind down the top cover retaining pin, so that you can remove it completely. You can get a new pin later if you want to go back.

I don't know. The instruction booklet does not say. There are a couple of phillips screws that hold the blade cover in place, so it may be possible to pull them off without too much trouble, but I don't see any blade #s on there.

I have a swivel circle at the end of the handle, too and I can't figure it out. I've tried to remove it thinking it was there to hold the tag but I can't get it off!

Not sure either, but try contacting Elzetta and ask them or maybe they'll send a replacement tool.

O.Deen: I just installed mine yesterday - unless I take a dremel to it, the faceplate is stuck on there. If you've got one that does detach, there must have been a running design change.

There is a set screw that holds the fan blade to the side of the shaft. You will need a long allen wrench to loosen or remove the screw. There may also be some corrosion that will make it difficult to come apart. Some WD40 and careful tap on the old shaft usually does the trick.

There are two slots. The first is a rough cut and the second a fine cut. They both use the diamond rotating metal removal process, but you can tell that the second slot is a much finer cut than the first. I use this on my Victorinox Chef's Knife which has a thin 12-15 degree Japanese style taper and it works very well. This might not be the right choice if you have a typical western blade with a 22 degree angle as it would take a long time to reshape the edge.

yes, using the included face plate... a chuck is a better way but there are ways around it. glue a piece of scrap wood on the blank using glue and paper. Keep the tailstock up to it for support as long as possible. Do NOT use drywall screws...too brittle. Check out what is available on uTube for others that have done it. Have fun! If u were in New Jersey, I am selling my equipment at a great price...can longer do turning...

The baseplate is removable. I swapped it out for my manfrotto quick release plate. I did replace the machine screw through the baseplate with a longer one ( and Phillips head as the hex head was not deep and looked like it could strip if tightened down) as the diameter in the grip is smaller than what was on the manfrotto. Feels very solid and I have confidence that it is also secure. Works very well.

I believe mine was a easy removal with either a wing nut or something else easy to adjust. It is easy to adjust to change the angle of the blade. Personally, I wouldn't remove the blade even when storing it. It is too easy to lose the various parts that keep it together.

Nestor, Mine broke at the same location. I used a scrapper with a razor blade, just inserted it under the existing base (gently) then pried the base off, leaving the black backing. Then put new one on. Seems to work pretty well.
