The Circular Sawblade Half is half of a round saw blade, cut from a whole Circular Sawblade. It is a metal part for welded weapons.
Welding turns it into the Sawblade Hatchet, the Sawblade Axe and the Metal Baseball Bat with Sawblade. It can also be smelted for steel.
Most halves are cut from a whole blade with a metal saw, a torch, a bandsaw or a forge. A few turn up in survivor safehouses. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Three welding recipes take it. Make Sawblade Hatchet joins it to a Broken Iron Pipe or Steel Rod Half at Welding 3. Make Scrap Metal Weapon joins it to a Steel Rod or Iron Pipe to make a Sawblade Axe at Welding 5. Make Sawblade Metal Bat fixes it to a Metal Baseball Bat at Welding 6. All three burn Welding Torch uses, need a welding mask, and add Nuts and Bolts. A wrench and a metal drill are kept.
As steel scrap, it counts as a medium steel item. Smelt Steel From Medium Steel Item turns it into two Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.
Research Craft on the half teaches Make Sawblade Wooden Bat and Forge Saw.
How to Get Circular Sawblade Half

Notes
- A metal saw is the simplest way to split a whole blade.
- Make Sawblade Hatchet is the entry weapon, at Welding 3.
- Cutting a whole blade is far more reliable than finding a half.
