Old circular saw blades
Didn't I see a discussion here some months ago about a recycling service for
old circular saw blades? I'm looking for the best way to get rid of some of these old blades (and no, they're *not* worth sharpening; most of them were "thrown in" with the RAS I bought on Craig's List this past year). -- See Nad.

Concerning sharpening, how do you know they're not worth it? Do you have a good sharpening service near you? I do--Standard Saw Works in downtown Oakland. Love the place; they've been there since forever (1920-something). Don't charge very much and do an excellent job on both steel and carbide blades. So far as recycling goes, any scrap metal dealer should be happy to take them (but they won't give you anything for them). -- I am a Canadian who was born and raised in The Netherlands.

Old circular saw blades
.... old circular saw blades? *I'm looking for the best way to get rid of some of these old blades ... Do you know anyone who does blacksmithing? They might take them --- I've seen some nice knives made from saw blades. |

Old circular saw blades
Paint pictures on them: A fish, dog, guail, woodland scene, etc. It
doesn't have to be perfect. Hang them in your shop. Got an old rust hand saw, cross-cut saw, do the same. Old wooden shingles or old slate shingles work, too. If you can't paint, get your kids to paint on them. Kids like painting flowers and are easy to paint. Sonny |

Guail? �Are those small forest birds from Guam?
LOL. I missed that typo Sorry, Sonny, but painting old saw blades is a cardinal sin. It's almost as bad as shudder shopping at Searz! I wasn't aware of some taboo in that regard. What's the reasoning for not doing so? Sonny |

Concerning sharpening, how do you know they're not worth it? Oh, I'm pretty sure I know a POS blade when I see one. Do the brand names "Vermont American" or "Credo" mean anything to you? Probably the best blade in the bunch is a Delta Sidekick, and I'm not likely to spend the $10 or $15 it would cost to sharpen $20 blade. Do you have a good sharpening service near you? Yes I do, but I can't remember the name of the company. It's actually a service offered by my local Woodcraft (Austin), and the sharpening company comes into town once a week to pick up the blades, then returns them the next week. My understanding is the company is somehow affiliated with Forrest, and they do a wonderful job on my "Woodworker" blades. -- See Nad. See Nad go. Go Nad!

Go ahead if you like that gauche sort of thing. As to Searz, everyone has their little horror stories about that entity. I gave my bucket of blood and pound of flesh to them when I was an auto mechanic. Each handtool that broke, and sent my hand or arm into another sharp object, just made it worse... -- Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the restraints. |
