Title: Bayonet bent tip
Post by JOHN42768 on Jul 5^th, 2012 at 5:09pm

Hi, Has anyone had success in getting a bent tip back to where it should set? Looking at buying a blade that has about a 30 degree bend encompassing about a 1/4" of the tip. I'm guessing it got dropped on the point sometime in its life. Wonder if clamping in a vise with soft metal on either side could accomplish anything or am I'm looking at it snapping off. Thanks, John
