A method is provided of processing one or more blades (500) of a row of blades (500) which forms part of a rotor for a gas turbine engine. The method includes: providing a rotor disc (504) having a slot (502) for mounting one or more blades (500); loading the blades (500) in the slot (502) and loading the wax blocks (506) in or adjacent the slot (502), the wax blocks (506) being configured and positioned such that, on loading, the blades (500) shear material from the wax blocks (506), the sheared wax blocks (506) reducing a range of tilt angles which can be adopted by the blades (500); and performing a processing operation on the loaded blades (500). |
