Title: Any such thing as good metal adhesive?
Post by: terravista on March 01, 2018, 09:34:26 AM: i have a timber cutting bandsaw and the metal bracket that holds the guides for the blade broke.
it is some sort of cast alloy, and the local specialist welder who can handle cast aluminium can't weld it. He has the opinion it has Manganese or other content and gave up.
It is too small to drill and pin it so I am hoping a good adhesive may work.
There is no high pressure required just moderate tension and no compression.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Ian

Bunnings .Autobarn . Repco local servo $12 >> $25 range

Unfortunately no. Too old (both me and the bandsaw)

x3. Great stuff. You can grind it, cut it, tap threads into it, and it sticks.
