Where to weld a broken bandsaw blade?

[Mitchell Andrus]

My favorite (and most expensive) carbide blade is making it's case for early retirement and make a break for the trash can. It's still got plenty of life left in it though. Any ideas for getting it fixed?

Look in the yellow pages under "Saws". You should have a band saw blade shop in your area.

The local sharpeners either do a lousy job or send it out. I'd rather mail it myself. it cost $110.00 and is worth fixing.

Have a Welder built write onto the chassis, such as a Do~All ,Grob ~ take it to a metal shop ~ probably charge you next to nothing to weld it.
Example:

Not a bad idea. Thanks.

If you're looking to mail, I've gotten good bands from Constitution Saw in South Windsor, CT. The gentleman there can tell you more about bands than you'll ever need to know.

There was an article about making your own band saw blades in the latest issue of one of the many WW mags I get, the same steps for brazing would apply to a repair as well. Next trip out to the shop I'll try and find the publication I'm thinking of.

If its a Resaw King, Laguna can weld it. If its a Lenox, I don't know. You might ask the source where you bought it.

Lenox contact name and number has been PMd to you.

Mike is right. Check out Popular Woodworking. Either the last issue or the one before.
