Hello Steve,
did it actually join the blade and then the blade would just snap at the join when you tried to use it or did it not even join the blade?
and how did you operate it it doesn't seem to have the required buttons or blade preload adjustment but otherwise should work on bimetal,
if you think about it there is no dissimilar metal issue, as the alloy change is consistant across the section of the blade so you are only ever welding carbon steel to carbon steel and HSS to HSS.
but you need to aneal the blade post welding.
Best Regards
Rick
