When poking around band saws, I found several band saw welders and several band saws with build-in welders. Do most band saws require that the blade be welded on?

The welder is also used to cut thru pockets in blocks of steel.
You drill the corners, feed the blade thru then re weld it
Saw the pocket, then cut the blade.
It is an old school die maker technique.
Now-a-days we just cnc the pocket and turn it all into chips. Back then many a pocket slug was turned into V blocks and other precision tools by apprentices.
