Thread: Oops! Disaster in the workshop.

Reshape the blade.

You are already resigned to throwing it away. Hence, you lose nothing by trying to salvage it, and you gain a lot of raor working experience by trying to reshape the point. Even if you overheat and ruin the blade, you'll have learned valuable lessons.

I'd start by using a cutoff wheel to remove the damage part, and then use drum wheels to shape the point.

Free tip: if you cut off the damaged part, start with the edge and work up to the spine. the edge will cut easy. By the time the blade is almost cut through it will hang on a sturdy spine and cut off cleanly.

Doing it the other way around will probably snap the loose part off when you are almost through, resulting in even more blade loss as it is apt to break off a big chip.
