Foo - O/T Any use for old circular saw blades?

I have about 20-30 old table saw blades. Anyone know a good use for them, other than selling them for scrap?

Some custom knife makers use them for blades.

If you have a friend with access to a water jet/laser cutter you can turn them into brake rotors or sprockets...

One word .... Oddjob (http://images.google.com/images?q=oddjob&oe=utf-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1)

Resharpen, then use as table saw blades.

Ninja throwing stars FTW.

Mount them on the wall as decoration. Right next to the old chainrings.

Have an artist paint a country scene on it and sell it as art.

The hardware store I work at has a program that offers a $5 trade in toward the purchase of a new saw blade if you bring in an old one, so long as it isn't missing any teeth. I'm sure we're not the only ones who do this.

If they are carbide,sharpen them.Otherwise they make good clocks.

Carry them when riding to throw at pursuing dogs.

This is the one that was used to cut the lumber in my house--it's about 3 feet across.
I painted it with blackboard slating and bolted it to the wall in the hallway.
I use it as a my message board.

Just bolt them to your big chainring as a badass chainguard.








That would be badass, you have to admit!

Excellent chainguard for MTB! if you can't clear that log, just go through it!

You'd get something worse than a chain ring tattoo if you leaned the wrong way though...

Pain hurts...but only for a minute. Scars heal....and the chics dig it. (or something like that)

As above, resharpen carbide blades. If you know a roofer or will be doing some yourself, run them backwards to use a circular saw for cutting long lines of asphalt shingles. Great for trimming ends of roofs.

could make excellent shrapnel if your into IEDs or have a unibomber like tendency.

Trivets.
Coasters too.

Hubcaps.

Not trivets. The metal will conduct the heat too well and could ruin your finish.

that is bad ass.

How about one for the front wheel? so squirrels get all chopped up before entering getting a chance to jam your wheel?

Make them into the most brutal and violent frisbees ever.

I used one to remove a thumb once. That hurt because it was mine and I was only 3/4 successful.

How do you resharpen them?

Unless you know how, take them to a saw sharpener. Sometimes building supply stores will either do it or at least know of someone who does.

Go ahead and tell me. I'm kind of handy. Just never sharpened a saw blade before.

Turning them backwards is also good for cutting sheet metal roofing. Just wear earplugs. ;)

Another use requires a Gravity Gun. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp2Eusoqvo4)

Thanks Metzinger. I learned from my father about 35 years ago and have never researched it on line. You saved me the leg work.
