westerwald Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I just ran across 50 or so 24" dia saw blades at a local scrap yard. I called fs tool and as usual got no help. Any help will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 All of the circular saw blades of that size that our mill runs are L6. But I don't sharpen the circulars, they are sent off to another company. If you have access to 50 of them, then it would be worth sendiing a piece off to have it annalized. The steel has to be a high shock resistant steel, or it won't last long in a mill. Wish I could be more help. Check into having it annalized and let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 For scrap prices I would buy them. Are they carbide tipped, or just sharpened? Why were they scrapped? Can they be resold, and make a profit? I have seen A LOT of good equipment sent to the scrap yards. I was just given 2 working refrigerated air driers ($1,000+) that were headed to the dumpster because they were "surplus". Lots of folks painting them, so there is one market if they are no good for knives. I think it would be cool to make a bowl out of one. Hmmm, could probably get a lot of ideas for saw blade projects. Uh, did I mention that I would buy them for scrap prices? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerwald Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 The saw blades are carbide tipped. Most have a chipped tooth. The scrap price is 30 cents a pound. I pay around 10-15 cents in Michigan.I am in Texas on vacation. The blades weigh 14 pounds each. This is around $4 each. It seems a bit high to me. I wanted to offer $100.00 for all.
