Is it worth buying one of those home bandsaw blade welders? I always have
a few snapped blades that I could weld up, and I have heard it is quite
cheap to buy rolls of blade, but I am wondering if the results are as
durable as commercially welded blades. Have people here had good results?
Are there good and bad welders, or bacause the process is mainly electrical
are most welders okay? The one I am looking at is an MVM brand, which I
have never come across before. All comments would be appreciated.

I've never heard of that brand, but I have used a couple of different
Pacific Rim (as well as good ol american iron) and they worked fine. As
long as there's enough power to allow fusion and the blade fixture holds
the blades in good alignment and keeps them that way during the weld you
should be able to get welds about as good with one of these that you'll
get with pre-welded blades.
