I've been interested in getting a blade welder, too.  Any thoughts on how to select a good one?

I went mainly by cost BUT it also had to be capable of doing at least the size (width) blade I'd be using. After shipping I think mine was about $300. It's an old Enco, I got it off ebay. Only took a couple of weeks until I found one. The specs on mine are 1.2KVA and will weld blades from 1/8" - 1/2".
