What to do with a diamond arbor blade?

Hello all,
I turned up a circular saw blade yesterday with a diamond arbor. It appears
to be the kind that is normally round, but allows you to punch out the arbor
hole to make the diamond shape. Unfortunately, I don't have a diamond arbor
saw. Can I punch the diamond out of an old blade to make an adapter of
sorts, or is there some other way to avoid wasting the blade?

Thanks,
Joel

Arbor adapters are available from various sources. I got a package of
adapter (5 or 6) from Harbor Freight for a small amount ($2 or so).

a punchout from another blade is unlikely to work well. however, the
adapters can be purchased for very little.
