I have been doing this for a few years on my old blades and I have just seen this, it does save a fair bit!

Thanks for this video. As a sparky I winced at his misuse of pliers.

Wonder why he doesn't cut the blade with a pair of tin snips?
Interesting video, thanks for posting Ted.

Brilliant, but where does one get the jig to hold the blade? Any ideas.

Probably make one

Bill, I made one out of a bit of Aluminium plate and a couple of screws and bits, there is a picture on the forum somewhere i posted ages ago in a post as Grumps wanted to see it, i will see if I can find the picture again, it is rough but does the trick easy!





Did I mention it's rough?

Do you need special flux or can you use normal soldering flux?

Grateful for the info so many ways to go about this task. Most especially helpful to the small bandsaw users where the blades seem to break more often.

Peter.
