My Biax 7/EL came with a clamp piece and what I think is a hard rubber pad to clamp the blade in place. The rubber is shot, and there is no way to clamp the newer, thin blade, it just falls out. The 8/E came with just a cap screw and washer to hold the blade, so I think I can do the same for the 7/EL. The 8/E has slots to hold a clamp piece, but I don't know if it ever had one. Here are some pictures. the 7EL is on the bottom:
I've always used the short blade on the 7EL, but I have read some of Richard's posts recommending the use of longer more flexible blades, so I would like to try the new blade.
