And when you use enough spring washers to hold aluminum blades from slipping the clutch, the shear pin goes when you hit something. Aluminum blades have too much mass, they are full of air in the metal, they are irregular weights and cuase vibration, and if you used the motors we use, they would cut your hand. If you think these things all the way through, you generally come to the same conclusons we have. William Allen wrote: > > What bs, it's a tekna not a chevy.
