Steel blades. Sharpen or scrap?
These are "freebies" that came with various Shopsmith purchases? Worth cleaning and sharpening?

Re: Steel blades. Sharpen or scrap?
After reading the comments I'm heavily leaning towards scrap. If I need to cut MDF or questionable wood I can get cheap HF carbide blades for less than the cost of sharpening these.

I got a few extremely thin kerf 8 inch with the last 10ER and I will sharpen them because it is hard to impossible to find them now, but the rest are probably going to storage drawer if not thrown out.
