Replace/weld Carbide tooth

All

I picked up a bunch of saw blades and two of them have a carbide tooth
missing. Are replacement teeth available to weld on or does this not
happen?

Thanks

Soldered, actually. Silver-copper alloy.

You can have the carbide teeth welded back on, but it would vary in price
and quality by service.

If you're interested, here's what Forrest will do and for how much.

It works the same as when the blade was originally made.

As well as any of the other teeth. This is a very common repair by a
sharpening service.

It *might* be possible to run them with one or two teeth missing.

Any decent sharpening company can replace teeth. You do need to look
at cost though. It can get expensive.

Yes, you can run them like that especailly if they are not next to
each other.

Any good saw shop can replace them. Price varies widely. $2.50 to $8
is probably a pretty good range.

Saw teeth whether new or replacement, should never come off whole and
should be very hard to break. The technology is there.

You might take them to a good shop and have them check them out for
flatness or you can do it yourself.

Been there, done that....

It's usually better (symmetry permitting) to take them off in threes


If you don't hold with such shade-tree engineering, then look at the
history of Art Arfons and his Green Monster. If you can do it to a
jet engine and set a land speed record afterwards...

Foley-Belsaw will sell you the teeth in packs of 25 for around 10 bucks
(exact price depends on the size and shape of the teeth--some are more
than 10, some are less) or an assortment for around 65.
<https://shop-foley-belsaw.com/> and search on "tip".

But if you're not already set up to do this, you'll find that any decent
sharpening service can attach new teeth, grind them to match the others,
and rebalance the blade for a reasonable price.

Admittedly, it's been a while since I had some teeth replaced, but they
charged me $2/tooth for new carbide. Obviously, a few can be worth it,
but the costs add up.

How well does it work? I'd be a bit worried about a tooth flying off.

It's how they're put on in the first place.

Yes, silver-brazed, saw sharpening shop, $5-8 per if they do it.

Any decent sharpening company can replace teeth. You do need to look
at cost though. It can get expensive.

Last time I paid for this service, $2.50 per tooth. Since he said 2 of
them have "a" tooth missing the cost should not be prohibitive.
