Part of the things I got after the death of my Dad a few years ago was a

believe any of them are "name brand" blades. There are a variety of rip
and
crosscut blades, some in decent shape and sharp, and some are dull, and
slightly rusty. If I had to guess, most of the blades are at least 50
years
old. Is there any use for these other than selling for scrap metal
prices
which seem to be up these days? I have his saw, a mid '50s Unisaw and I
have a few good modern blades for it. These old blades haven't seen the
light of day in many years and are just taking up space. Opinions?
Thanks in advance


I don't know if they had carbide-tipped blades 50 years ago. If they did,
send them to Forrest for sharpening. They'll repair any damaged teeth and
they'll cut like new.


Having 20-30 of them to resharpen and flatten, that would probably be much
more expensive than simply buying a single WWII to replace all of them.
