<p><font size="4">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.</font></p>

welding is the preferred way to strengthen it. But budgetary

need to know your stuff. He could probably weld up a

When I need help with something like this, I
usually consult with Jeff at A-Line. He’s the only
one I know at figuring out the best way to fix
things and knows bandsaws like the back of his
hand. <br>
Good luck 👍 <br>
