03-30-2003, 12:49 AM #1 Bandsaw Blade solder repair kit I am looking for a kit that has the clamp system & I think silver solder to solder band blades. When I had a no-name bandsaw with odd length blade I had to use it or get custom blades. 03-30-2003, 8:43 PM #5 Re: Bandsaw Blade solder repair kit Originally posted by Bart Leetch I am looking for a kit that has the clamp system & I think silver solder to solder band blades.
With my little Dremel handgrinder I grind off any hump of solder so the blade is smooth. I’ll bet I’ve saved hundreds of dollars on blades doing my own repairs so those of you out there who might feel intimidated about repairing them, don’t! If I can do it I’m sure you can. These blades stay sharp until they’ve been repaired so much they no longer fit.
Using this kit, you can repair the blades with a splice at least as strong as the original weld. The kit consists of enough silver solder and flux to repair 30 breaks. The “Sure-Splice” blade jig will accommodate blades from 1/16″ to 1 1/2″ wide.

Can you fix a bent bandsaw blade?
How to straighten a bandsaw blade? It is risky but if it’s absolutely necessary, a temporary fix to straighten a bandsaw blade can be done by placing it on an anvil and gently tapping it flat with a nylon head hammer/mallet or using a pair of gas pliers to straighten out the blade.
Can you silver solder bandsaw blades?
Cut a piece of silver solder the length of the joint and place it between the blade ends. Heat the joint to dull red with a propane torch and watch for the solder to flow out. Hold the heat for a bit to make sure everything is hot enough. The solder will sweat the joint and flow where there is flux.
What is a blade welder?
The T27555 Blade Welder can cut, weld, anneal, and grind bandsaw blades. This allows you to make new blades from bulk coils of band stock. Quickly rejoin a blade that has been purposely cut for making an internal contour cut. Repair broken blades that are still sharp and useful.

Joining Metals As opposed to brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal, welding is a high heat process which melts the base material. Typically with the addition of a filler material.
Should bandsaw blade twist?
Typical bandsaw blades can be flipped “inside out” to make the teeth point the other direction. On some knife edge style blades and grit edge blades you can get a fresh sharp cutting edge from a blade this way, just by flipping it inside out.
