    optronics 7e blades

    I have recently acquired a second hand optronics 7e edger. I want to edge wraps but I'm not sure which blade to go for. My options are the Hi-wrap 1, the Hi-wrap 2 or the Liberty blade, (I'm not sure if this is a wrap blade or not). i don't have a multi holder thingy so i can only get the long blade versions.

    Any suggestions


    Thanks in advance.

    I recently heard that the liberty blade works on oakley style mounts. Keep in mind this blade will have to be size accordingly..usually +1.25 offset and you will not be able to polish since profile is different. I have one on order and will test and post results. It is worth a try and beats ordering the multi cutter body.

    Whats different about the liberty though? I have a pdf which shows me the bevel profiles. It looks similar to the wraps but with a flatter front part of the bevel and no centre 'tram line'. The name sort of suggests that you can do the majority of wraps using this tool?
