For saving money, you can't beat the angle grinder.

The cool part is that you just get about 2/3rds of the way through and then just break the piece away.

I trim as much as I can, dunk it in some water with pliers and then off to the belt grinder.

I go from a blade shape scribed in steel to a finish profile in 10 minutes or so. I can then use the same belt for primary bevel grinding (after scribing my center lines on the edge).

Just make sure you use a face shield. lol.
