Trade points

(1/5) > >>

RidgeRunner:
What is the best way to cut trade points and knife blades out of old skill saw blades?
I have been told two different things by two different guys.
The first guy said that a clod chisel on an anvil would be the fastest way.
The second guy said that a hack saw with a (good blade) was the best way and would produce better shaped points over the cold chisel method.
I have not tried either way yet.

Thanks
David

David, I've used a cold chisel and it worked fine. I have not used a hack saw yet but I bought a good blade the other day to try. There are trade offs with both methods.   I also tried a Drimmel with a small fiber disc. After 3 discs and no completed point I figured it would be cheeper to buy points. LOL That method didn't work for me but has for others.   Pat

I've used a cold chisel, lots-o-work, but it works. I like to cut 'em out with a dremel, but I usually like to make trade points out of thinner stuff like old handsaw blades. Actually haven't made any in a while, use mostly stone points now.

I've also used a dremel tool, w/ the fiber discs, they worked great for me.....

  I use a cold chisel on an anvil also.Then clean them up on my belt sander.I can now cut them so they each weigh 125 grn.
