FS-Bandsaw Blades

According to Gunner :

Hmm ... those 5/8" ones (item #4) are long enough to be cut down and re-welded to make four single blade ones, and two more with parts of two blades each -- assuming that your bandsaw has a functional welder.

Enjoy, DoN.

Ayup..I might do this. I can tig em back together or take em to a shop and have em done with a blade welder. Ive 3 blade welders..and none of them work right. Or Im not bright enough to adjust the guts to work right. Ive welded blades with blade welders many times..dont know why mine dont work properly. Shrug.

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years . It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.

Theodore Dalrymple,

DON'T BUY THEM...ALL THE TEETH ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!! GUNNER'S TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE!!!

(The trick with blade welders in in the anealing, practice, practice, practice)

Curses!!! Foiled Again!!!

Theodore Dalrymple,

With a simple shop-made jig they can be silverbrazed. Grind a slow taper on each part with the jig at a wheel, overlap with the jig so the lap is flat and the teeth are aligned, silverbraze. Might need to pick a few teeth clear with a dremel and a cutoff wheel. Not as fast as welding, but it definitely works.

That work for bimetal blades too, not just the carbon steel ones?

Those are made for use South of the equator, where the orientation would be correct.

I love your special ones. They have teeth which are half on each side.

I'm afraid to ask how he knows this ...

Besides, everybody knows those bands are for the left handed bandsaws.
