I used several carbon steel blades, and bought half of a 100 ft. roll of
blade stock. Welded them up at work on a Do-All with built-in welder, but
it didn't work very well on stock that thin (0.025"). Then I got a Lenox
Bi-Metal blade from the J&L Industrial store, and 3 years later it's still
cutting very well.

The DoAll welder is not very easy to use. I, too use one, and you have to
work at getting proper welds, and even harder at annealing properly, but
once you get it figured out, you can produce outstanding welds. You just
have go through the learning curve, often for each type of blade stock.
They are not identical. I'm very pleased with mine and the results now
that I've gone through a few welds.
