Slightly removed from discussing wood but close enough to be of interest. I think.
I have an old sawmill blade, about 3 ft. in diameter, that I have long hoped to cut into knife blades. I have been advised that a regular welding torch will ruin the steel for this purpose. I have located a guy, several hours away, with one of those water jet things but he wants more than $30.00 per blade to cut.
Recently some one gave me a bunch of bandsaw blades that are metal cutting types. I'm wondering if these will work OK or if I would just cause myself a lot of grief trying.
What say the jury?
