Default TIG welding bandsaw blades

Â* I've read about it somewhere , but don't recall the details ... Broke
the last (nearly new) band for my horizontal , figured I have nothing to
lose but a little time , a bit of shield gas and some 'lectrons - oh ,
and I'll need to make a clamp block to keep the blade aligned as I weld
on it . Got a new blade on the way , but just got a bug to try this . I
know low amps DCEN , what filler ? Got ER70S2 ,ER70S6 (MIG wire) , ER
308/309/312 and some Invar 42 nickel/iron . The blade is an Irwin (IIRC)
bimetal 10/14 pitch . Am I going to need to anneal the weld ? O/A torch
OK for the task if it's needed ? I know I want to minimize the HAZ .
