    Give this a try before you buy! Use super glue first, then lightly dust it with baking soda for even more strength, Trust me, it works, works just repaired a aluminum priming tool for my reloading. Took a dremmel tool to it. Trust me on this, it’s very, very hard!

    Interesting. What does the baking soda do?

    There is a YouTube channel I watch that has all kinds of repairs on it doing that. I haven't needed to try it yet. I might need to run over a saw with my tractor or something.... again.

    I believe it accelerates the curing of the super glue. And strengthens it, the super glue as well. Either way, it worked on my priming tool which I can use again. Before, there was no chance to ever use it again I thought it was totally ruined. I think if just super glue is used on my saw, I will back it up with the baking soda as a back up plan.

    Yep seen this before. I have also seen where they used super glue and styrofoam.
