Bandsaw Blade Welding in Charlotte?
- Status
Thanks Bob!
You make seemingly impossible stuff like this so simple that people like me with 12 thumbs consider trying it. I need to get my hands dirty. The silver ribbon soldered scarf joint will give a stronger joint than the welded butt joint I would have ended up with.

If you need anything more try Gordon Combest in Mt. Holly. He makes Timberwolf band saw Blades. 704-460-9479, no relation or affiliation but he presented at a WW meeting once and seemed like a great resource and very willing to help with any questions. I'm sure you have also seen his booth at the Charlotte WW shows. http://move.to/TimberWolf (no .com) or bandsaws@juno.com.
No idea about brazed-on teeth. Any time one is making a bandsaw blade, the teeth at the weld take a hit, but with so many teeth, it usually isn't an issue.
Good luck and report the progress.

I read the thread when you bought one and wanted to buy one myself but overspent on the LN/WC sale...LOML said, "NO!!" :no:
I tried out a Trimaster for a few cuts recently and was really impressed with the cut quality. I'd only used Si-steel bands and the Trimaster left such a smooth finish...yep, very cool.

Yep Chuck, hard to pass that deal up. Best price I've found is $235 for a Trimaster to fit my saw.
Well to continue the saga...I called the tech services line at Lennox and the tech strongly advised that I take the Trimaster to an authorized Lennox service center (Charlotte Saw) and have them do the job. He went on and on about how this blade was not meant to be brazed but should be welded and welded in an approved method with special bla, bla, bla. So for less than $10 and gas for a round trip to a rough section of Charlotte that's what I'm going to do. I will get the blade repair kit from Woodcraft for my regular blades though because that's just cooler'n heck to be able to do that.
