[Suggestion] Macerator blade rework, Buzzsaw Blade recipes for Lathe

I was watching a video of someone making a rotary cutter recently, and while watching him make the blade on a lathe, it got me thinking.
Macerators in this pack pretty much use the same cutting heads from MV onwards, but there's plenty of buzzsaw blades that are unused except for the electric saw crafting tool. Additionally, they're only craftable by hand.
Given how many macerators you're gonna be making through the pack, for ore processing and whatnot, it'd be nice if there were a better way of making the buzzsaw blades; like a couple plates in a Lathe! You could then pretty reasonably tweak the higher-tier Macerators to use buzzsaw blades of materials appropriate for their tier. It would also add a nice little bit of functionality to the Lathe, which otherwise isn't used for all that much.
It's just a thought I had; figured I'd bring it up. \o/
The Lathe is used for making rods cheaper, which is quite useful. I agree, though, that the blades could be tweaked for each tier to make them require resources of that tier. Maybe have the same general recipe, but different components? Such as Platinum dust and stainless steel gear for HV, Mana infused dust and titanium gear for EV, etc.
This was actually implemented in 3de44e1, so gonna close this issue.
