   If a spare part is available then I would use that unless prohibitively   
   expensive. What sort of welder are you using. I refurbish glassblowing   
   jacks occasionally using a TIG welder and O1 as filler and that leaves   
   quite a hard deposit that I temper once built up to the required level.   
   It's like welding on the edge of a blunt knife blade and worthwhile   
   considering what new ones cost so long as they haven't worn so much it's   
   beyond saving.

   I built up and ground down the edge of a splitting maul my uncle had used to   
   chip a lump off the granite front step. Wrecking the tool was preferable to   
   displeasing his mother. A 7" angle grinder dressed the weld neatly and   
   easily.
