Automotive uses: Carbide thin kerf blade makes a great panel cutter for removing damaged areas. It's possible to make plunge cuts in center of a panel.. invent other applications I haven't thought of.
Gasket scraper: Grind the teeth off of a straight blade [re-purpose one thats gone dull] and sharpen it a bit... The thing goes through stuck on gasket bits like butter.. DO NOT USE IT ON ALUMINUM.. aluminum is to soft and you will gouge the gasket surface.. Don't ask how I learned that.. ha.. But.. cast iron, or sheet metal.. works like a champ..
