Folks I have a Hatachi CF75 3" Stellite Resaw Blade and the other day
I was cutting up some roughly 6" size hickory disks to use in my
smoker when the blade jammed and it now has a small kink in it.


Is there a way to remove this kink such as heating and shrinking or is
the blade a total loss. It still runs and cuts but obvioulsy makes a
slapping noise when the kinked section goes through the guides.


Thanks for the help.

Normally it's not cost effective to straighten/sharpen a hobbyist type
band saw blade. *At the approximate cost of $135 for the blade you have
I'd start calling saw sharpening services in the area to see if they can
straighten it.

Thanks Jack for the input, my problem is that I do not think there is
any local saw sharpening services in my area but I will check around.
I live in a small town.
