[crw-talk] Bandsaw maintenance help

[Ken Grunke]

Andrew, I believe welding would be the most appropriate repair. JBWeld 
isn't really made to go into cracks, it's not thin enough. If the pieces 
were completely seperated, JBWeld would work for gluing them back 
together if there wasn't a lot of stress on them. I used it to glue a 
piece onto an old vice and it held for a few years, then gave up. If the 
JBWeld on your part failed, you would have to clean it off before "real" 
welding.
