cutting saw blade question

[ArcticArcher]

I picked up a 29" sawmill blade this weekend and may have a line on a couple bigger ones in the near future.

My question is how do you guys/gals get them into workable pieces?  I've got a 4 1/2" angle grinder at my disposal, but is that the best way to do it?  I've looked at a plasma torch but that is out of my league at this time.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I use an acetylene torch and then grind down to the profile with my grinder.

[ArcticArcher]

Bill, any fancy training needed with the acetylene torch?  Never used one before.

Moving to Alaska in a few weeks, probably will need to wait to get one of those

It is not fast, but I cut a zillion blades with a die grinder when that was all I had.

Dang Dan you must have alot of blanks laying around if you cut a zillion LOL.

I'll use what I have also, just wondering what other folks might be using.  Gonna wait til I'm sure this new hobby is one that I will stick with.  But I will say I am enjoying this and am looking at my things with a much more critical eye as things go along.

i am using a dremel tool and thin cutting wheels right now, but i am fixingf to pick up a 4.5 inch hand grinder and a drill press

i use a 3 in cut off wheel on a electric die grinder  works real good and not as big of a mess as a torch

my wife has already claimed it
 she thinks its ironic i am building knives and cant seem to keep one for myself (lol)

I use a 4 1/2" grinder with 1/16" cutting wheels. Works very well. Grinder cost me less than $20 at harbor freight. Skippy
