The welder is finally functioning. Talk to Ed Bennett or Everett Wilson if you want to learn how to use it. The procedure is:
#Measure 120" (5 table lengths) of the bulk blade of your choice.
#Cut the blade to length using the shear above the welder.
#Match the cut ends together with the teeth on each end pointing in opposite directions (180 degree twist in the blade). Grind the ends of the blade until they match and are smooth. Normally you could use the grinder on the welder, but the grinder is not working.
#Clamp the blade in the jaws with the ends of the blade touching.
#Push the welder lever down and hold it down. After the weld is done, release one of the jaw clamps, then release the welder lever.
#Anneal the blade until dull red (pulse width modulate the anneal button - it doesn't take much).
#Grind the weld until smooth and the weld thickness is the same as the blade.

Blade welder is missing the grinder motor.
Blade welder is missing the grinder motor. The shear for the welder is not making clean cuts.
Add a miter jig which mounts to the right side of the table. A round linear bearing would allow the jig to be tilted down out of the way when not in use.
