I resaw quite a bit of osage orange on my Grizzly G0555 bandsaw. I'm limited to 6" but that's OK for what I do most of the time.
My resaw blade is a Timberwolf 3/4"X4 tpi. I have found that OO dulls a blade fairly quickly.
Yesterday a new blade arrived and I had to cut some OO for waiting orders.
Wouldn't you know it....a piece of wood got jammed between blade and insert. It bent one tooth and slightly kinked the blade at that point.
I tried straightening the tooth then resumed cutting. It cuts OK but leaves the wood very rough.
Would it be OK to put the blade on an anvil and try to remove the kink by tapping with a hammer?
New blade, I hate to waste it.
