Default How effective are home bandsaw welders?

Earl sez:

"The jigs that hold the ends together while soldering work very nicely.
Easy to make yourself too."

I made one from a "welder's" Vicegrips.

I've always silver soldered my blades and only had one joint fail in about

15
years. Important thing is to scarf the ends and grind the joint so it

doesn't bump
going through the guides. A Google search should get you some plans.

I bought a bunch of surplus blades for a very good price that were 10

inches
too long. Easy to modify to fit my saw.
