Help soldering broken bandsaw blade
Obviously I'm doing something wrong here as my joints are brittle
and don't hold worth squat. I ground the ends of the blade to about 45 degrees and cleaned the ends with sandpaper. I put on plenty of flux and wedged a small piece of silver solder in the scarf joint. Both ends are held in a jig so nothing moves during the soldering. The saw blade is 3/16 wide and .025 thick. I'm using oatey 53013 silver solder. I'm using a propane torch w/ pencil tip burner. I've tried heating just till the solder melts & flows, and hotter, up to the blade turning a cherry red. Nothing worked. So what am I doing wrong? technique? Wrong solder? Art |
