Have you ever had your bandsaw’s blade broken and you just run out of blades? Well this is a quick fix, to let you continue your work, until you get a new blade.
We are gonna need some silver solder, flux, a propane torch, a rotary tool and a broken bandsaw blade.
First of all I clamp the blade on the bench and use the rotary tool with a sanding drum bit to clean the joint.
I will but joint the two broken edges, so I use my rotary tool to shape them in a wedge type shape.
Next I clamp the blade on a brick ( heat resistant surface ). I add the flux and I heat the blade at red hot temperature as evenly as I can. Then I add the solder. The heat and the flux should lead the solder to it’s position.
I then let the blade cool down on it’s own.
Next I use the rotary tool again to clean the joint.
I then place the blade on the bandsaw for the sharpening process.
I add a cutting disc on my rotary tool. I add a starting point on the blade. I just touch the back side of each tooth with the rotary tool. When I reach back to the starting point I am done.
And it works just fine!
I hope you found this one useful!
