brazing/soldering pot metal
I'm sure this has been covered a bunch of times already.... I fumbled my antique band saw getting it out if my truck. Of course it landed on the pully(wheel) and bent it to the point of cracking. I paid almost nothing for the saw and am willing to invest almost nothing to get it running. I am wondering if acid flux core solder might be worth trying. Whaddayathink? thanks Roswell Bob |

Pot metal is a large class of zinc alloys; easy to cast, but not much for 'fabrication' by welding or even rivetting. Get a new pulley, or take a chance on a miracle solder https://www.amazon.com/Solder-Aluminum-Metal-Repair-0-25oz/dp/B000BUUTPU. New pulley (if it's a DRIVE pulley, it doesn't need to be an exact match) seems best. |

Do you want to risk a failure when your fingers are close to the cut? https://www.forrestmfg.com/what-is-blade-tension/ |

The second time I cut it off was with a Ryobi miter saw. The second time wasn't so bad because the nerves were already gone. Those Ryobis are vicious. I'm going to scrap saw. Thanks for heads up. |
