You are the first one I've seen whose bought the Homier bandsaw. How
did you come by that choice and how did it compare to the other
imported brands (assuming you compared the quality of the others)?
For $99 the last time I looked, it seemed like a good deal, however,
I could not get a good look at one to see how it compared to others
I've used/seen.
BTW, technically, that is brazing the bandsaw blade together. The
important thing, though, is that when it is done properly it works
pretty good. That is how my dad always made his blades and, for the
most part, they wore out long before the brazing broke and those that
broke the brazed joint were repaired and eventually wore out on the
second try. :)

Hello,
I have Homier 4x6 bandsaw and thoght it would be a good idea to
have
a way of welding the blade together when it breaks.
Here is a website with the method I am copying.
I made a fixture like the one shown. My 4x6 is about 8 months
old.
So far the the blades seem to hold up very good and none have
broken
et. I have a small wood bandsaw too. The wood bandsaw has smaller
blades of about 3/16" to 1/4" wide. I broke a blade on it
yesterday
and tried the rewelding. After my second try it is holding and I
am
cutting wood with it. The 4x6 blade being 1/2" should be even
easier
to weld/braze.
Anyone else trying this? Any successes?
Bob
