I have had good luck with brazing (silver soldering) but with the edges scarfed. I use a simple jig to keep the ends in place.?? I have only used to repair blades and also to shorten some long ones I was given. I can always hear the joint passing through the work because a couple of teeth need to be removed due to the scarfing overlap.

I buy the expensive blades from Harbor Freight and haven’t ever had an issue. ? It was convenient to buy them-I was in the store for something else. ?I bought a roll of blade and tried to weld my own by a but joint arc welder, but the weld joints would fail over time. ? I think the radius is too tight on the 4x6, for I use the same welder for my 14x8 vertical bandsaw with no issues.
I built my own hydraulic down feed and use a 10-14 TPI blade.
