Brazed would be right. Not much of an expert in the attachment arts here, so forgive me if I lump too much into the "welding" stuff. If it ain't soldered, it must be welding.

This was actually the first time I ever witnessed "brazing." Oxy/acetylene torch, and some sort of "solder." Fuel from some big tanks, and the whole affair glowed red. I'd need to take a class just to know the right terms. It was fun to watch -- my "help" involved striking the matches.

But, I did replace a blade in the band saw last week and installed 5 copies of Windows 7 Pro today. Software Engineering: Just keep paying my salary, eh?
