Welding bandsaw bimetal blades

Either you need some good welding skills or you need a special welding machine. My bandsaw has a blade welder attached to the machine. Clamp the cut ends and start pushing buttons!
 
You can braze your bandsaw blades with your oxy/acet tourch. what I have done is grind the ends of the saw blade at an angle so when the blade is butted together you have a lap joint. make a simple jig to keep the blade square flux and braze, grind off excess brazing then I temper the brazed area with the tourch and it works fine. This works great for inside cutting too and after you're finished you heat the joint and debraze and, It doesn't hurt the cutting ability of the band saw blade like you think it would either.
 
Jewelers high temp silver solder or industrial silver solder either one will work great.
