The specialist saw blade suppliers give far better value than a "Tool Shop", the former do it for a living, the latter have to add their handling charges. I would suggest if you receive a braised blade, you send it back, the specialists not only have the proper "Gear" to weld the blades but usually have the ability to repair tipped circular saw blades and also re-grind or manufacture HSS circular saw blades from blank discs. Used this type of supplier for many years in Industry.
First thing to do with most of the import bandsaws is to chuck the blade and get a decent one. Before the flame wars start, I did underline most, not all.
