Blade advice

[strunk57]

Hello all again,

I have a question......or two. I have searched the forum but cant really find the info I seek.

I have around 20 used blades sitting around, and almost out. I ordered a box of 15 the last time but don't remember/ cant find who I ordered them from, I am very happy with the blades. I need new blades NOW. have a couple jobs coming up and have nothing to do them with.

There is a place that is about 30 min away that Sharpens, sets, and cleans for $5 a blade. I know that's a good price, BUT my blades have been sitting outside unfolded and have gathered some rust. Is this still alright to take the to sharpen/clean?

They should be fine. If it bothers you throw them on your mill and make a cut or two with them. That should clean them up. Good luck and  happy sawing

makes sense, I don't know why I didn't think about that.  Thanks a lot.

I agree, nothing worse than a dirty rusty ole blade, very doable, just makes a better mind set when sharpening a clean one,  I have used scotch pads on them before, just roll the blade backwards by hand and the snags won't be so bad on the pad. Either way a clean blade would be better to bring in for sharpening.
