Hello,
Apologies if this query should go elsewhere.
Anyway, I was using my bandsaw at the weeekend, to saw a log. Either a knot or imperfection, or a momentary loosening of my grip caused the wood to kink the blade.
I've swapped it for a new one, and I can see where the kink is. My question is - would you all just chuck it away, or can they be re-straightened? Naturally, I don't want to use it if it'll have been weakened, but I don't want to chuck out an almost brand-new Axminster blade if it's salvageable.
At any rate, it's taught me to leave ripping stuff like that to people who know what they're doing!
