If one joint failed, the rest may be ready.

Also, the replacement teeth are guaranteed to be differently -
shaped than the worn teeth, making sharpening a much more
time-consuming process than it needs to be.

I suppose size/weight could have some implications here, too. Put a
single different sized tooth on and throw the blade out of dynamic
balance.

I wouldn't be too concerned there.

On my dry saw, I've discovered that I'd been cutting steel using
a blade missing a couple teeth. Performance was down.
but it still worked without discernible vibration.

My nit is that they never showed any additional silver solder being
applied. Is there enough after removing the teeth? I'd be wary of
that.

He *implies* that he put fresh silver solder in the joint
between shots. (Must look up silver solder *paste*!)

Powdered silver solder in white flux, just what we need.

Substitute black flux and you've got a deal!

(What?)

FIFTY BUCKS AN OUNCE?! Nevermind.

He is *right* about the 'white' flux. It is just unusable
because it oxidizes very quickly.

It's prolly only unusable for all of us, the amateurs.

I dunno. Stuff turns color and starts boiling off *long*
before the joint is up to temperature.

There's a goddess if there ever was one. Too bad her boobs weren't a
bit smaller, she was unmarried, and she liked older guys. She'd be
perfect for me. (POP! and then I woke up.)

Heh!
