Hello,
What do you do with the old ones that aren't worth having resharpened or are beyond restoring?
I have a few old ones that I hate to see get tossed. Seems like a waste of decent steel.
The OEM blades that came with a few of my tools - TS, CMS, Circ saw - are beyond help, and I can't see laying out good money on them.
OTOH, the steel seems to be pretty decent.
Would heating them "cherry red", to remove the temper make it easier to work w/them? I'm worried it might warp if I do that though.
I'd like to cut out some knife or chisel or scraper (kind of a super-card scraper) blanks from them.
I spent a few min with a file on one around the arbor hole and didn't even scratch it. Ditto a metal blade in the jig saw - all it did was "smooth" the teeth of the jig saw blade.
