Bandsaw blade out of plane

ebd

I have a bandsaw blade that seems to be unusable. It came with the back edge that was not in plane when laid on a flat surface. WIll not run on the saw. Can't even get it on so it will stay.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? If not (my guess) is there anything I could use the blade for? ??? Cut into lengths, drill holes in the ends and use on a bow saw or hack saw frame? ???

Kind of p1$$e$ me off as it came this way and I didn't notice and didn't use it right away. Now I can't return it. Not even sure where I bought it - but it wasn't cheap. Came from one of the better on line bandsaw blade places.

I buy local and am sure they would have no issues rewelding a blade. If I hadn't bought it from them I'd have to tell them it was given to me by my friends cousins sisters uncle or something like that. Maybe it's time to try a little silver solder? Lots of info inline, or you could buy a ready made kit. Or, here is a pic of my buffer rake...

reweld it

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

Everywhere has a place that welds up bandsaw blades from 100' rolls of stock. Every machine shop will have a blade welder on their saw. Take it to one of these places, cut at the weld and reweld.
