Title: Bandsaw blade welding
Post by: mmgrode on April 13, 2008, 06:26:00 PM
Hey Gang,
  I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.  I've got some bandsaw blades I need welded up and was curious if anyone knew of a place to get this done for a reasonable price.  I've had some troubles finding anyone around here that has the tools for brazing them.  Thanks, Matt

Find were your local woodworking shops send their blades out for sharpening.  Same person might make bandsaw blades and should be able to repair them too.  Thats how I found the local guy here. dino

I should also add that Veritas Tools has a bandsaw blade brazing kit too if your up to doing it yourself. dino

I just grind a bevel on them and silver solder them. Works better than the bandsaw welder I have.
