does anyone know enough about those blades to say if they are tool
steel right through or if only the teeth are?




Seem rather thin for most lathes. Might make a good flat spring for a

Sawzall blades are very highly sought after in prison, where they make
wonderful weapons.

I volunteer in a maximum security prison ..

Apparently a plastic phone card with nicks cut in the edge is good for
use as a weapon too.
