I cut mine out with an air cut-off tool.  Have to go slow though or it'll overheat the metal.

As said in my earlier post, I use a cold chisel, ballpeen and a good solid hammering surface to cut both circ. saw and bandsaw blades.  Cut big, grind or file to size.

  Saw mill blades are 1095 steel. You can cut them with a hack saw like they are but I aneal them (SOFTEN) Then there's not hardest nor temper left in them then there easer to cut and grind. Then harden and temper after you've cut and shaped them.
 I've made dozzens and dozzens this way. They will get awesomely sharp and hard somewhere around 56 ,57 ROCKWELL hardest. Which is harder to sharpen but stays sharper longer.
