I had the feed set a little too high on my bandsaw. Next thing I know
the blade jumped off the wheel. It looks a little wiggly in one area
(the blade is kinda S shaped from side to side).


Is there any way to save it? The teeth all appear fine, its just the
"wiggly" part catches on the guide bearings and pops the blade back
off the wheel.


Its an expensive starrett bi-metal blade and I would really like to
save it if possible.


Save it with the other metal for re-cycling.

Nice quote.

I ordered a replacement before posting anyways. I was just keeping my
fingers crossed just in case.

Thanks for the replys, I'll try the lead hammer thing (I think I kept
one from my dads garage sale).

Thank god McMaster will deliver by noon tomorrow if my previous orders
are any metric to go by.
