I havent tried Tom, but I don't see how a coarse wood file wouldn't do the job.

would the blade be beveled from the back?this is my main dilemma.i don't know how the blade originally looked because it's just so bad.it's rounded(no sharp edge).i have a nice file here that cuts it good and smooth but that bevel part has me baffled.

Tom-I just went out and checked mine. The beveled edge is on the back side and looks to be 10-20 degrees. The front side is flat.

I'd think a hand held 3 inch grinding wheel would offer better control of putting the edge on that prop tom.......you need DennyK..he's a master of the grindin' wheel and weldin stuff.
