Used Disc Blades

37chief · Mar 19, 2016

Don't through out those used blades. I have 14 blades from a disc I scrapped. I advertised them for 4.00 ea. more than I could get for scrap. I figured someone could get some more use out of them. They are from 19 in to 20 in. dia. Someone called about them, not for discing the ground, but for yard art of some kind. A hunting friend of mine got a few for target practice a while back. He said you can really tell when you hit one. You just never know how some things are going to be reused.Stan

If you camp or do outdoor cooking you could use one for a skillet wok type thing, just weld a plate to cover the hole and clean it up real good. Make a stand for it, put it over a flame or propane burner

A friend put a few on a pipe spaced apart a used them as a bird feeder

You can put one on each end of a pipe to make a small table, or shallow planter etc.

They also make great bases for portable signs, shop pedestals, etc.

When I taught Driver ed, we used them for bases for the portable traffic signs we set up in the parking lot/driving range. Worked far better than driving pieces of pipe onto pavement to screw signs into.

Made a couple of boat anchors from old disc blades for a friend that had a small resort on a lake. He said that the anchors dug into the lake bottom too much; the tourists didn't want to work hard enough to pull the anchor up so they just cut the rope, brought the boat in and didn't say a word!

saw am add this week. They make garden tools out of them. Make great hoes and weeding forks. Plasma cut to size and weld on a pipe section to fit a handle and grind the edge sharp. better than you can buy anymore.

I used scrap ones for the top and bottom of one of my forges. Has a ready-made hole cut for the tuyere in the bottom, and the one on top has a section that broke out (which was presumably why it was scrapped) and works great to hold most of the heat in while still giving you a spot to stick your workpiece in. As already mentioned, I've also used several for stand bases, and chunks of them make great rakes, shovels, hoes, and similar tools.

There's all kinds of uses for disk blades!

I won't sell mine - I'm afraid I'll run out some day. . .

My uncle uses blades for edging around rock gardens, flower gardens, etc. They are set down flat with the dish up and out and make it really easy for a lawn mower deck to ride over them.

Around here all of the old discs were scooped up long ago for dock posts. Weld the disc on one end of a pipe - so it doesn't sink into the mud.

Someone used some large ones for bases on pipes for candle holders around the altar in our church, with smaller ones on top to catch drip from candles. Painted black, they look professionally made. And with some 3,000 members, it's not like our church couldn't afford to buy professionally made ones.

I used one to make a Christmas tree stand. Closed the center hole, welded a six inch diameter pipe to it, and tapped three 3/8 holes for bolts to hold the tree. Holds lots of water, and won"t tip over!

Got a corner marker that you don't want to hit with the lawnmower, but want to be able to locate easily? Paint the disc blade white, drive the marker in to the ground flush and stick the disc blade over it. You don't lose the marker and the grass doesn't grow over it and the mower will go over it.

They also make nice stand bases for welding, and can be used for a parts rack by welding pipe stands into them. They also make a great light stand.

I also save a few and use them on gang ends to keep from making a large finishing furrow from the disc.

Lots of uses from them......

I have some where we welded 3 3/4" nuts to and then i can screw long bolts into them for legs. I can then cook in my dutch ovens in the middle of the lawn and not burn the grass. When done you just sweep the ash from your briquets down through the hole into a coffee can and no burned spot in grass. The 3 legs will stand anywhere and i can take them off for transport and not take up much room.
