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.
