Can a saw (panel, x-cut, etc) with a slight bow to the blade be corrected to cut properly? My father in law recently passed away and in sorting through tools I'm trying to determine which saws are of use. Sighting down the spines on a couple there is a slight bend but not a kink. Can they be rehabbed?

thanks, Jake

There are a few tutorials in one of the pinned threads
