We report the synthesis and properties of high-J{sub c}, biaxially aligned YBCO films deposited on thermo-mechanically textured Ni tapes. Sharply cube-textured Ni tapes, 125 {mu}m thick, were produced by mechanical rolling followed by recrystallization anneal. Short segments were coated with epitaxial oxide buffer layers, followed by fully aligned YBCO films to thicknesses of 1 to 3 {mu}m. In-plane textures of 7-10{degree} FWHM are achieved, with c-perpendicular alignment to 1{degree} FWHM. Typical zero-field J{sub c} values are in the range 5-9x10{sup 5} A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K, with strong behavior in magnetic fields comparable to that of epitaxial films on single crystal oxides. Assessment of properties necessary for a tape conductor technology are discussed.
