Introduction

this portable blade welder can cut, weld, anneal, 
and  grind  bandsaw  blades,  which  is  commonly 
done in the following situations:

• 

to  re-join  a  blade  that  has  been  purposely 
cut for making an internal contour cut.

• 

to repair a broken blade that is still sharp and 
useful.

• 

to  fabricate  a  new  blade  from  bulk  blade 
material.

hot  sparks  from  the  welding  process  can 

damage your eyes and skin. During welding 

operations, always wear safety goggles and 

protective  gear,  and  keep  the  spark  deflec-

tor over the welding clamps to reduce your 

risk.
