Band saw blades of 1/2 or larger can be useful as beading tool material.
You can make a beading tool holder and just cut the band saw and file to
shape.

Other than that, pretty tough to sit there sharpening it. Lots of work
for little gain. Contact a professional shop if you are really
interested maybe they have a machine like that used for table saw blades.

What do you guys do with your dull band saw blades? Do you bother trying
to sharpen them (or have them sharpened by somebody else)? Or do you
just chuck them and buy new ones? I've tried to sharpen a couple of them
using a Dremel tool and some methods suggested by others on their
woodworking sites (I'm sure a Google would turn up enough examples), and
the results were passable, but it was a pain to say the least. Are there
any good (and reasonably priced) blade sharpening jigs that would make
it worth the effort? I'm starting to get knee deep in dull band saw
blades...
