JimboS1ice Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 So as I burnt through a couple blades today, as I was throwing them out, I got to thinking... Is there something I could do with these dulled out blades other than throw them at something. You guys trash them or does anybody do something creative with them?JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Argyropoulos Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 What were you cutting that you burned through multiple blades in one day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Tungsten carbide by Milwaukee, did some brick landscaping, but one was used then I decided to get rid of some old ones laying around.

BMack37 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 You could always grind off all the teeth and sharpen it as a flat blade. You could also grind the teeth, debur the end and probably use it as a metal pry tool if you ever have to take apart any electronics.

HiltiWpg Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Throw em in a box, when you have enough, take to metal recycling.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbw55 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Other than keeping a few for drawing circles as Comp mentioned above, I just toss the bad one's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I have a couple old blades ground down for cutting things like insulation, but they last so long you'll still be looking for something to do with old blades. What sawzall blade handle do you have, jimboslice? I tried a friend's milwaukee handle, but the connection to the blade is too loose for my taste. If there was a better one even if it didn't fold, I'd be replacing most of my hand saws with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a craftsmen handle, came with a few blades, its pretty nice, everything fits pretty snug, it doesn't fold either. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-three-in-one-multi-blade-hand-saw/p-00936255000P?prdNo=32&blockNo=32&blockType=G32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it require a screw, but sometimes you have to compromise for a secure connection, and I'd rather that than vice grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Argyropoulos Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have a Milwaukee folding saw handle at the moment, but I'm not crazy about it's size or that crappy rubber overmolding. I tried the recent version of the Lenox, and again, it's too big and it broke pretty fast. My favorite was the all aluminum Lenox they were selling about 10 years ago. Can't get them anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse comes to worse grab a couple of handles, I threw the blades out before I got the handle out of the package lol.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
