You'd get a lot more joints out of that ounce of flux and filler than
out of a similar quantity of filler rod and a jar of flux by the time
you clean up the joint. The stuff is really meant for furnace
brazing, though, where you have your parts rolling through on a belt
instead of guy with a torch doing onesies. I've used it for gun work
for putting sights and ramps on, good stuff. Just a mite spendy in
today's metal market.


In just a few minutes of searching, I found a blade that will
do the job for about 50% more than the Irwin blades HF
used to sell:

I guess I won't get into the saw blade repair business just yet.



Grok that. I'll be needing a new blade for my HF 12" CMS this year,
so I'll likely get one of those. It hurts to pay 1/3 the price of the
tool for a replacement blade, tho.


I looked up the absolute proper blade.

Stand away from sharp objects before you open the link
for the price.

Smelling salts at the ready!

Hey, that thing cost FOUR TIMES the amount I paid for my portable
bandsaw. I wonder how long they last. Is that horrible price a good
value?
