I had the feed set a little too high on my bandsaw. Next thing I know
the blade jumped off the wheel. It looks a little wiggly in one area
(the blade is kinda S shaped from side to side).

Is there any way to save it? The teeth all appear fine, its just the
"wiggly" part catches on the guide bearings and pops the blade back
off the wheel.

Its an expensive starrett bi-metal blade and I would really like to
save it if possible.

Save it with the other metal for re-cycling.
When the tuition is high, you have to learn fast.

Sometimes you can pound the kinks out with a lead hammer.
Sometimes not.

Nice quote.

I ordered a replacement before posting anyways. I was just keeping my
fingers crossed just in case.

Thanks for the replys, I'll try the lead hammer thing (I think I kept
one from my dads garage sale).

Thank god McMaster will deliver by noon tomorrow if my previous orders
are any metric to go by.

If you can't save it cut it up for hand hacksaw blades!
You'll have to
punch the holes at the ends though, too hard to drill. I
have so many
right now I hand them out to my customers as gifts! The
vari-pitch are
especially popular.......heh heh .......;)

They make real nice BOW saw blades also. Normally wood blades, but sometimes
large things need cutting or those that have a large what-ever in the way.

Also nice on the tough hard woods that sometimes have wood blades skate on.
