[Rockhounds] Diamond Saw Blade Repair

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Tom,

Think about how you straighten a bent nail. You place it on a hard flat 
surface with the bent portion sticking upright, and you hit it with a 
hammer. If you hit it too hard you get a reverse bend and have to 
rotate it and try again.

Place your blade on a hard flat surface with the bend sticking up. 
Working in a spiral pattern tap the parts sticking up with a large 
flat-head hammer. Concentrate around the high points, but don't hit too 
hard. With patience you can flatten it back out.
