G'day, Thought I'd mess about and experiment with some old saw blades. Turns out it works flawlessly as a tungsten tipped parting off blade. Very happy !
I have been making part off blades for some years now, i get good quality saw blades worn ones from flee markets, its cutting them out of the saw blade as accurate as posible then trim with a sharp file i made my own holder you get a lot of blades out of a saw blade, i part off upto 50mm (2inch) bar, keep them sharp & one will last a long time, 🇬🇧👍from Coventry in UK.
Well done sir. Way back, (early 1990's) I worked for a sharpening service. The braze on the carbide is extremely robust. Remember, those blades turn at 3000 plus rpm. Worst case, the carbide will break before the braze lets go. Keep up the great work!
Hey mate, thanks for the info… Yeah I probably should have realized this. Especially with the panel saw blades from work. They spin quick! I think I was just more concerned at the fact that it was going from timber to cutting steel… But then again, braze is braze and carbide is carbide, right !? It’s good when people point out the obvious for you 😆 🤦🏻♂️ If you don’t know… you don’t know. Cheers 👍
Oh absolutely someone else’s idea. I’ve had a heap of feedback (on different groups) how they’ve been doing it for years etc. I’m not trying to claim it by any means. I may have another idea though that I’ve never seen anyone do with this… If I don’t kill myself in the process, I’ll post something up 😆 Also, thank you 😊 👍
Great video ive been thinking about using old saw blades for a while. You are impressive i subscibed keep up the good work and i enjoyed. Thank you for your efforts!
you do know blowing air on grinding tools can play havoc on the ways with the grinding dust? you ultimately have a sand blaster in your hand. great use of the old saw blade though.
Well aware. That’s why I clean stuff during and afterwards. Typically don’t aim the air towards ways etc as well if I can help it. My ways are always covered in leather as well. The Vise I don’t give a shit about because it’s rubbish anyway. 👍
Cheers mate. It’s not my idea as such. I saw a very bodgy version of it on RUclips ages ago. Thought I’d try it but make it a little prettier. No idea who, can’t remember. It’s like everything really… someone has already done it somewhere 😆 As for speeds… a few guys have made different suggestions on a fb group I’m on. I used to run slow… it’d jam up and scare the shit out of me. Then switched to fast… had good results but was to scared to power feed. So I bit the bullet (manned up 😆) and tried all different combos while power feeding. Mid speed and upped the feed rate a smidge is the outcome. Speed is somewhere between 350 & 450rpm. Not sure cause it seems off a bit. Yet to test it properly.
super idea and fast to do. can’t be any worse than those crappy import tools and it’s a great way to use up those old blades everybody keeps around “just in case” and never actually get used. i also like that if i screw up the first one(or three) i’ve got plenty of “extras”! keep up the work. great post
@@jonathanvincenzo7227 haha, yeh I was expecting a screw up or 3 as well. Got lucky! Well… this is how lucky I got, I didn’t even get a chance to measure the width of the blade… I just ground the crappy edge off… and it fit 😆 True story. Dead set fluke. The sort of fluke that will never happen again in my next 10 lifetimes 😆👍
maybe you can build one of those camera rigs like what inheritance machining made, might come in handy. instead of missed shots or a camera in your chest/face. he's on youtube
Hi mate. I actually have. I have a rack running along the entire wall, with like a boom. The problem is the camera mount itself. I need to make something better. If I do it up by hand it slips. So I crank it with pliers now 😬 Yeh I’ve been subbed to inheritance for a while. He does great work.
hay bud iv being having no luck parting off on my lathe bought a new blade the other day still chatter like al fuck so i have a old saw blade might give that a try well done still dont no your name cheers fella
I was up there for a few years! Weather would be nice now… summer can ead though… Fark it was hot. Nothing like getting out of the shower, drying yourself… and being wet again by the time you walk out the bathroom door 😆
I’m not sure because I’m not in front of it… but I’ll try remember to check tomorrow. Atm I’m switching between a low and mid speed. Feed rate I know is one up from my slowest… which is useless to you 😆 I don’t know that my speeds are accurate though. Unfortunately I’ve already broke the tip off. I had a piece of steel that gave me real grief and I thought I’d try the new one on it. Knackered it. Partly my fault I think. Went a bit hard and a little too much stick out. Anyway… I’m still learning too with it. I’ll make another. Probably grind it a little different also.
I have been going to try that for a while...... thanks for the video, which will save me a lot of development time... 🙂

Love it 👌
Cheers mate !
Very well done. But get a set of parallels for your grinder: I though for sure you were going to take a chunk off your square.
Nice job. Looks like a great parting blade. Especially since it's recycled material.
Cheers bud 👍

Lovely stuff. Even if it was someone else's idea, you showed it very well. I smiled at the video bombing light! All the best

Going to try this as soon as possible thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching ! 👍

Kind words… thank you mate 👍
It sounds like you have a few sulphur cresteds around you! I'd say that is a success.
Hang on….. googling 😆
No really..!! 😆😆
Cheers 👍
A bloody bird 🤦🏻♂️
Haha….
Ok I’m with ya now ☺️

@@NOideaMachining just an observation. you had to know someone would say something about that. great video though.
@@odin823 haha… mate I’m surprised more people aren’t picking shit on me tbh… 😆
Gotta learn somehow. 👍
Im sure it’ll come though. ☺️
i made one from a used saw blade tungsten tip and it broke the brazing
Bloody brilliant idea!
So what was your theory on working out the speeds?
Cheers mate. It’s not my idea as such.
I saw a very bodgy version of it on RUclips ages ago. Thought I’d try it but make it a little prettier.

Ripper of an idea!!! Nice work again mate

Hey mate, call me whatever you feel like… I’ll laugh too 😆
Nah, it’s Troy 👍
im up north in cairns
I was up there for a few years!
Weather would be nice now…
summer can ead though…
Fark it was hot.
Nothing like getting out of the shower, drying yourself… and being wet again by the time you walk out the bathroom door 😆
fuck that works well just watching now what speed and feed you runing there
I’m not sure because I’m not in front of it… but I’ll try remember to check tomorrow.

You need to slow your turning speed way down!
People say to fast…others say to slow… some say mid speeds…
Can’t win 😆
I’ve been over this a few times.
