Has anyone made homemade blades to replace warped or drooping blades before and care to share on what you did?  |

I have a professional woodworking guy I know actually do them for me when I desperately need a certain design (only had two sets made over the past few years), he just cuts them and I do the finish, etc. myself typically.
Some others have successfully done some of their own sets, they'd have to tell you what they did though, I've heard a few different ways of going about it.

I've been kicking the idea in my head about making my own.. I looked at Lowes they had whatever the inch plywood that is needed but they had normal looking plywood and birch.. Is either better than the other? I'm so sick of drooping blades.

Hunter Summer Breeze about four years old. Generally speaking, Hunter blades are susceptible to drooping due to the rubber grommets. If, however the blades themselves are warping, then it's time for a new set. |
