Perhaps. The pictures I've seen elsewhere show the guys adding weld to the entire point. If you're not buying rod in bulk, it may be cheaper to just buy another point.
According to old IH literature, you're supposed to wear out points roughly twice as often as a share. With the A-S points, my experience is about 4 points to a share (without being hard-faced).
At 8 bucks each, I'm not complaining. I didn't expect much and I got what I paid for. I'm glad they are on the market. At least something is available. It is disappointing to know that it takes just as much money to make parts that fit right as it does to make parts that sort-of sometimes fit right.
You also have to watch the top of the point where it meets the shin (RSPC) or moldboard (PC). Some sit slightly lower and require a bead of weld to meet the parts at the right height. Otherwise, premature wear of the other parts will occur.
