Bandsaw blades will break long before the gullets have to be deeper.

You have to keep the tooth the same height for it to work right. That means the gullet has to grind down with the tooth. Doing that will grind away the cracks in the gullet and the blades will last longer.Have to disagree..005 is not much lost.I understand the gullets function but have sharpened many 30 inch cordwood saws that cut well with shorter teeth.Photos Ive seen show deep scratches left by grinding wheels that I think start cracks.There is no way you can sharpen and keep a new saw profile.I have had a new blade break after little use.Setting hardened teeth will always be a problem.

They also sharpen planer blades (Image hidden from quote, click to view.)
Well, that settles it.There really isn't anything that can't be done with a radial arm saw. Pretty cool.
