Remember that this is a piece of rotating machinery, not a static part. I'm not a metalurgist or a stress analyst, but I would not rework a highly stressed and abused part like a rotary cutter blade that could come apart with fatal consequences. I'd spend the $40-$50 or so for a new set of blades unless the blade manufacturer gives you an approved method for reworking the blades and i was able to follow that method.

Some advice from a former aircraft propulsion engineer whose has seen the results of some blade failures.
