Default Blade mods

Can someone point me in the right direction to find a piece on how to modify stock blade grips to accept folding blades?

Thanks,

Sorry, CX2.
I read a piece somewhere which involved using damaged stock blades and cutting around the hub, drilling a hole in order that the stock part could then accept folding blades.

It's either that or invest in XTREME blade grips but I hear conflicting stories about effective or otherwise.

Cheers,

I'm not sure on how to do that mod. But I am using the Xtreme Blade Grips and blades on my CX2, I really like them alot and haven't had any problems.

mcdermj, Here is an idea i was going to work on but never got to it. I figure since your already going to try making folding blades then you could try this.
