HE EXHALES I suppose if you were desperate,
you could take a chance, but you're talking
about hundreds of blades. It'd be kind of foolish. Between the static side
and the rotating side, you've got to have a certain space. If it's too big, you don't get
the compression in the engine, if it's too small,
you get the blades catching, and therefore causing
a lot of damage. It's precision. Polish them by hand?
I couldnae see it happen

HE EXHALES
00:00:03.048 --> 00:00:06.084
I suppose if you were desperate,
you could take a chance,
00:00:06.084 --> 00:00:09.068
but you're talking
about hundreds of blades.
00:00:09.068 --> 00:00:11.028
It'd be kind of foolish.
00:00:12.032 --> 00:00:15.012
Between the static side
and the rotating side,
00:00:15.012 --> 00:00:17.072
you've got to have a certain space.
00:00:17.072 --> 00:00:21.008
If it's too big, you don't get
the compression in the engine,
00:00:21.008 --> 00:00:24.056
if it's too small,
you get the blades catching,
00:00:24.056 --> 00:00:26.032
and therefore causing
a lot of damage.
00:00:26.032 --> 00:00:27.072
It's precision.
00:00:27.072 --> 00:00:29.064
Polish them by hand?
I couldnae see it happen.
