How to Weld Your Own Bandsaw Blades

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

What a great tool to have. I need one! Well..no...but I want one!

[@MaltandMake]

It really is! I didn't know I wanted one until I had it.

[@MULTIAWESOMESTUDIO]

I need one too. And a bandsaw. And a workshop.

[@MaltandMake]

Those are all excellent things

[@AndyCPugh]

So now I'm wondering if you could make a mobius bandsaw blade for cutting in both directions.

[@MaltandMake]

Why hadn't I thought of this already!!!

[@AndyCPugh]

@@MaltandMake I'm glad I could help!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I have soo many bandsaw blades (I think it's over 90 last time I counted) so I don't need this tool. But it doesn't stop me from wanting it!

[@MaltandMake]

That's a lot of bandsaw blades!

[@harilaldalpatparmar9894]

Thank you

[@JohnMadeit]

I don't even have a bandsaw. Why am in watching this. 😂 that was actually really interesting.

[@MaltandMake]

Thanks! I suppose you could also use it to turn bandsaw blades into hacksaw blades!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Lovely to see you here again! Air gap band saw blades - now that's somewhere to put your research points! 😁

[@MaltandMake]

Lovely to be back and hopefully more soon too!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@MaltandMake One can only dream...

[@BITTYBOY121]

Man, you really need to win the lottery to be able to buy one of these bandsaw blade butt welders, they are so ridiculously EXPENSIVE !

[@MaltandMake]

Either that or be lucky! I picked mine up a few years ago for about £300. Right place and time I guess.

[@BITTYBOY121]

@@MaltandMake Oh, You're so jammy ! - Now they want almost 3 times that !, even on eBay they are super expensive second hand when they should be much cheaper... Believe it or not it seems cheaper to just buy an old Startrite bandsaw with a blade welder included than to buy a blade welder on its own ! - Great Vid BTW 👍👍👍

[@MaltandMake]

@@BITTYBOY121 Oof, that's good to know. I'll make sure I hang on to it!

[@BITTYBOY121]

@@MaltandMake I would !

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Interesting, Thanks 👍

[@MaltandMake]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alainterieur5628]

0:50 I watched this video in my shop class and thought I saw the word subscribe written on the machine, but when I looked again it said Startrite. I thought I was tired and going crazy, so I had to come back later just to check. I KNEW IT It was only written for a few seconds but it was indeed there 😂

[@TandaMadison]

Well, I appreciate the hell out of you too! I don't think my little weenie bandsaw is strong enough to break a blade... I call it a weenie bandsaw only in reference to its diminutive size. If you are actually cutting weenies you will need a SawStop... well a deactivated SawStop or you'll just nick your weenie. I'll show myself out.

[@MaltandMake]

If I remember my history correctly SawStop original founded as The All American Weenie Machine Company. Turns out they didn't do so well cutting weenies so shifted to making woodworking tools. I think that's right anyway... or it might have been a dream. Who knows!

[@TandaMadison]

@@MaltandMake I think you are correct. They shifted to wood after they couldn’t get their saws to cut through a single weenie.

[@Brownstone31]

What else can you weld with that? 🤔

[@MaltandMake]

I suppose anything that'll fit in the clamps... maybe I'll have to give some wire a try!

[@thecustomcave]

OK so now I need one of those

[@MaltandMake]

Exactly the correct response

[@AnchorDesigns]

Great video as always! Would love an old startrite!! I miss using a ‘proper’ band saw! Thanks again 🍻

[@MaltandMake]

Thanks, it's a great machine to have!

[@SonyFoLife]

I am loving these videos. You're going to be big one day mate, keep it up :D

[@MaltandMake]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@whazee]

I don't have a bandsaw, but I appreciate the hell out of you too James!

[@MaltandMake]

Ah, you're the best!
