DAMN!
30 minutes ago, I was ripping down an old table top to reuse the wood
for more clamp racks. I HIT A BURIED SCREW!!! There was no
indication of any screws at all in this top.
This was with a NICE, low time Freud Industrial 50T blade.
Some of the teeth do not look like a sharpening would be enough to
save the blade.
DAMN!!!

A decent saw shop should be able to replace the teeth.

You might be able to get the teeth replaced?
Did you use a good metal detector on the table top at all?
If not, buying one can save lots of $$.
Amazon has the Lumber Wizard one sale at the moment for $69.99.

Barry,
Take a look in your local TELEPHONE BOOK. Look for a 'Saw Sharpening
Service'. One near me charges $2.50 per tooth for carbide replacement, and
probably about $5.oo for the whole tooth.
I found out about them from a local 'Tool Rental' establishment. They
normally charge for 'sharpening' and would be rather reticent to tell you
who does it for them. However, in my case, they weren't at all sure about
tooth replacement, so they told me to 'go direct'.
Regards & Good Luck,

I'm looking into that, but we'll see if a $60 blade is worth
repairing. Coastal's got WWII's for $89, I picked one up yesterday,
which will allow me to take my time investigating fixing the Freud.

20-20 hindsight now. <G> I rarely use recycled lumber. This screw
was IN the wood, in the middle of a board.

It will be my next purchase, along with another blade. I know I
should be using one even with non-recycled wood.

I've found small shavings of metal in the glueline of cabinet ply lots

I've got one in my garage right now with one tooth gone. Don't know what

No, CMT at $30 - $40
I've just never had a sawblade lose just the one tooth. If I hit
something badly enough to need repair, it's always damaged a load of
teeth.

In a recent bout of repairing termite damage to the house, I bought 5
sheets of OSB (at greatly inflated prices). While cutting/fitting the
sheathing, I noticed a strange 'bump' on the surface of one panel.
Turns out, LP had pressed a very large bolt that had fallen from the
machinery into the 'plys' of the wood. This sheet made it all the way
through dimensioning, Q.C., and beyond. Great stuff.
I guess the point is, even new cabinet grade plywood *could* have
things in it that aren't supposed to be there.

Does it still cut well enough you can use it for future recycling efforts?

I've never had a carbide blade sharpened after damage. Carbide is
brittle and tends to chip further back than can be ground out. It only
takes a few tooth replacements to equal the blade replacement cost.

Funny thing about the $4.99 HFT blades. I bought one just to see what
it was like, and it wasn't much. Tended to burn right from the start.
I was ripping a bunch of 2x4s down to make furring strips and it
finally got to the point it wasn't getting the job done. Just out of
curiosity I had it sharpened (OK, spending $15 to sharpen a $5 blade
doesn't make sense, but bear with me here). When I got it back it cut
smoothly and without burning. I used it for a bunch of work after that
and it did a real good job for me. Cheap blades have smaller carbide
teeth so they can't be sharpened as many times, lower grade carbide
and bad factory sharpening jobs. Taken as a whole they are barely
adequate as delivered for cutting salvage lumber.

I take it that you, too, buy the HFT blades at $4.99, Andy?

Teeth can be replaced for a few dollars apiece. If not too many are
broken, you can probably get the blade repaired for a reasonable
price.

I did before I looked online. I was going to ask some locals in
person tomorrow.
In the past, I've posted inquires for Connecticut sharpening services
here, and gotten only Woodcraft and WWW for replies. I know
somebody's doing it, but they seem to insist on keeping themselves a
secret. <G>
