Silca MH NE75 Blades for Freelander

[Ridgeback]

Cut one of the new NE75 blades for a 2005 Freelander.

Thought I'd give it a quick test in the drivers door, wouldn't turn.

Put it back in the machine for a 2nd run incase I'd missed a cut, still no joy.

Examined them side by side, exactly the same, the customer is getting a bit twitchy now.

Then I noticed that the NE75 is pointed at the end, where-as original is rounded off.

That pointed bit added about 1.5mm, so it wasn't going fully into the keyway.

When I cut it at the beginning, I simply followed the cut profile stopping at the last cut.

Something to watch out if you get one of these.

Most unusual for Silca to get the profile wrong.
