Default Dull band saw blades

I sent in some dull blades to my sharpener/supplier guy, once. The
burrs left from sharpening made the blade even worse than dull. For
another 3-4$, I could have bought new blades and should have.

P

Another point on why to not resharpen is that the steel in the blade gets
work hardened and brittle, after enough use to dull them.
