    Help -- Bent BS Blade

    Was cutting some turning blanks from logs this morning on my 18" jet BS w/ a 1" blade, when the blade grabbed and brought the machine to an immediate halt as the blade jambed in the log. I had to split the log to get my blade out. The blade now has a twist in it, enough to make it unusable as is. It is not kinked. Is there anyway to straighten it (heat it, beat it, stretch it ??) or do I trash it??

    Sorry, I forgot to mention I tried to un-bend it by gently twisting it back but it wouldn't stay.
