Has anybody ever successfully renewed a blade by cutting up a brick or a grinding wheel? This does nothing for my blades, and if you think about it, it doesn't make much sense either. Whether I pay $150 or $50 for a blade for my 12" Lortone, it cuts ok for a while then gets so slow that I hate having to use it. What a pain! I've never understood how cutting a grinding wheel would expose diamonds on the blade. If cutting hard stones like agates dulled the blade to begin with, cutting a hard grinding wheel doesnt seem like the way to sharpen it. I've had much better luck with swaging the blade. Basically bang the edge of a course file along the rim of the blade. Misshapes the softer steel, exposing new diamonds.
