Having Christ as your Lord is necessary before the time of death

@@Islandwaterjet Texas - standard carbide blade sharpening is by the tooth and geometry but a 30 tooth rip blade which costs ~$100 will cost ~$0.50-0.75 per tooth to get sharpened and I havre some I've had sharpened 7-8 times. Someone doing enough bandsaw blades to put in the automatic feed advance sharpeners will be getting roughly half that per tooth. The only $30 blades for my bandsaw (18" Jet) are plain steel (no carbide). I sharpen them with a Dremel and chain saw stones once, in situ on the saw, and then toss them.

@@Islandwaterjet $25 for a blade that large?

Are you sure they are carbide? Stellite is far superior and more likely if you have been using for 50 years. As for sharpening. Wet grinder is the only option.

@@jamesoliver6625 in another 50 years where will you be ? Heaven or hell?

its pretty difficult to weld up a blade and have it perfectly straight.. also i think from what she said about the weld being on the other piece its in 2 pieces and you can see its bent so .. hey it happens .. i wish she mentioned if other blades have snapped on them.. i'm sure they have.

When you weld a blade together you also have to heat the weld up to around 1200 degrees to soften it so it is flexible. If not it would just snap.

@@mgbill793 you aneal it

@mgbill793 Back in 1967, I was a machinist in a shop back in New Jersey, and we spot welded bandsaw blades often with no problems until the spot welder ceased to work. No breakage problems with blades. After the welder broke, we brazed the blades. That worked well also.

@@mike97525 yes, that is the it.

That's a good idea. That would reduce the cost per blade significantly, and not thar hard to do. I suspect there is a fixture available somewhere that would make that relatively easy.

Yep..Boss Man needs one too;)!

If You take into consideration the extra downtime to make the changes? I am not familiar with milling wood or steel or other metals, but often we do not take the cost for downtime due to tool change and set up, time is money and every minute that the mill is not cutting it is just another bucket of money going to waste.

yes it should be reweldable if the l the base metal is steel. carbide is typically braised with flux. technology keeps changing np .it might be different

They are not going to do anything other than make excuses or blame it on improper operation...

It cannot be easily repaired, if it could be, I would’ve said on the video

Only thing is though usually teeth break when the band comes off or breaks. I think from hitting metal that brings them to an abrupt stop. Worth checking the blade though in case I guess!

@@isaiahshaffer HUH? "usually teeth break off when they come off or break," I'm not that advanced...

@@twistedhillbilly6157 sorry, I worded that poorly. Every time I have a blade break or come off, there is usually broken teeth involved too from the blade hitting the metal inside the covers after it comes off 😂

For them, money is important but they said they can sharpen around 4 of their previous blades per hour. They cost around 30-40 I think, so that is a savings of over 120 per hour. They just wait until they have a large amount then do a batch at once it seems. And it only takes one person to resharpen. So it is definitely viable to resharpen, until the blades got below $15. Then it would be questionable. But you do have the idea of reduce/reuse, and that itself is valuable unless then blade gets below $10, and I doubt they will get that cheap for a new one.

my question for emerald and grand pa. what sharpener do they use and what kind of wheels do they use what kind of wheel deesser do they use depending on wear on the grinding wheels.

Isn't vibration an issue with diamond?

@@mrwaterschoot5617 Did you not notice? THE BOSS MAN shut the post down. No new post today. Definitely not getting an answer from Emerald or GrandPa. The Boss Man is back in control.

it is what it is. i am looking for knowledge for me when i get out of forced retirement back to the land i loved for over 50 years. i apologize to the boss man. emerald is one of his jewels and possibly grand pa got called to heaven. if that happened a lost of a good father takes time to heal. you lose the mortal physical body, yet their spirit continues to live in out souls. i know first hand my dad got taken 11 years ago. and on tomorrow may 24 my brother left earth for heaven. he chose 4 days of hospice care and a guaranteed death sentence. than taking life extending dialysis and feeling his body deteriorate until it failed later. he had complications of high blood pressure many years ago. the meds prescribed were not kidney friendly and eventually the kidneys did fail. it took a long time and medical professions prepared for that day and set up a port for dialysis and a possible kidney transplant. my brother eddie is ab+ and i got the ab- version. we were lead to believe that my rarer blood type would kill his rare blood type would kill

ab+ type makes less than 4% of the world population and ab- and ab+ combined is still less than 4%. one fact is ab folks can only donate to ab folks. yet they accept from a, b, and the universal o folks. my mom is a or b and had female plumbing issues and was within hours of going to heaven for severe blood loss. with the help of surgery and blood donations. she survived. my brother and i became blood donors in the late 1970s or early 1980s. he and i 250 miles apart donated over a 100 gallons of blood each in our life time. eddie did it the slow way with the 2 hour long process of draw and spin and extract plasma and other blood components and return the rest back. this allows every 4 weeks donation. i donated whole blood which is a 15 minute donation time and a 15 minute recovery and rehydration time and a rest bit before moving on. a whole blood donation is quicker but it can only happen if you build up the iron in the blood and all is well . but it requires about 4 months. eddie was and i still am alive as organ donors. mom is still alive at 88 with memory care issues. my public service announcement. donate blood if you can. become an organ donor for after god calls and takes your mortal life. if you have a family member in need of an organ and you have a two of them check to see if you can donate one. it could be a gift of a longer life on earth. instead of letting your mortal body return to dirt. consider being an organ donor and/or donate the mortal remains to science. when they are done they can have the remains respectfully cremated and the ground bones and ash returned to earth. yes it depends on your spiritual beliefs and the necessary healing for your loved ones left behind in your life and legacy as you transition for eternity.

Yes green wheels .. I use them.

And if properly cared for the wheels will last much longer than a regular aluminum oxide wheel.

Blades snap all the time, it’s not that big of a deal

@@lumbercapitallogyard oh I didn't know that...sounded like it was a surprise to have happened...Like you channel ...watch it to relax, Emerald makes it interesting.

Yes and no for me. Board feet has little to do with how much actual cutting was done. I keep a rough tally on linear feet when trying new blades. Same idea though. Cost per foot cut is the whole name of the game.
