Shredder blade welding. - 05/07/23 03:06 PM
JKMccoy told me his grandad was a welder, and he would run a hard surfacing rod down the edge of the blades every year. My 15' batwing blades are 5 years old. It's quite the chore to replace them, and $300. I thought I'd give this a go. On the box of welding rods, it is labeled that the rods create a surface of a Rockwell hardness of 62.
Weld, clean, weld, clean. Repeat until it was built up enough.
Grind em sharp.
