Hi Bill, YtMag has a great bunch of guys on here and I think you have taken what there trying to say to you the wrong way. Although your information posted contains good info with errors for the project discussed, your intended info is for very experienced and advanced craftsmen in the metal trades but we also have alot of very young people learning the trade via internet and there-in lies the problem as your info could and will most likely get someone hurt or killed as there is no warnings of the extreme danger of making such repairs. Why? Your making a repair on a piece of metal that rotates at a very high speed and if NOT welded, heat treated and balanced correctly, the blade will explode into pieces upon rotation. To put it another way, it would be like me trying to tell someone how to weld up a gas tank. Now with alot of private e-mails working with a experienced craftsman, I might be able to get them to make the repair without blowing themselfs up, BUT there's a huge risk that I might leave out a small detail thus causing great harm and that is the point the guys are trying to make. For the average advanced craftman, it's much better to replace blades than try to repair them just looking at it from a safety stand point. From the price of new blades that I've seen, it doesn't pay to repair them. T_Bone
