    Default repair saw blade weld?

    I send some Lucas blades to Shoda Travers (with specs) to be retipped besides the teeth falling off and making the blade too small they ground the outside of the blade for some reason. Well the teeth now come off often and they are hard to solder on because there isn't enough blade to hold them on the gig.

    Can the blade be built up with weld? Would need to be hard I was thinking tool steel electrodes.

    After mine were stuffed up I sent them back to Ace who made them and they rang me and asked who ground the blade at the back of the teeth? And what do you want us to do?
    I asked if they could build it up with weld he repiied no blades are not mild steel and weld would be too soft.
    THats why I'm asking here to see if harder electrodes would repair the damage.

    In could be done, but then you would have to re-grind the blade and then harden the blade, so for the price it would not be practical
