Hi
There is never a good time for the bandsaw to break its blade is there. Its sunday afternoon and bang
A quick search of the shed and no spare can be found
I have repaired my blades a few times so thought I would show you. The repair doesn't last as long as the original weld ( which is where mine always seem to break) but usually long enough to get the job done while a new one is ordered. I was a bit sceptical when I first saw this done on youtube so my jig is a bit rough and ready, I'll make a new one one day
The jig needs to hold the blade securely thats all. The blade has to be ground on each end to make a scarf joint.
Apply some flux and a bit of silver solder and heat up.
Allow to cool and clean up the joint with a rotary tool
back in business, it will last long enough to get the job done.
Cheers
Rich
