Farewell, :(
Well, unfortunately I'm moving to a new job without
net access so I must regretfully unsubscribe. Thank you
very much to you all - I've learned many useful tips and
received many helpful hints and hopefully I was able to
help a few of you.
Thanks again - it's been great !
Cheers,
Mike Harlan
ps. responses to questions from Bill Rose and Roger Garnett -
I've used the V-butt and experience leads me to prefer the
overlap butt joint. The V is okay for pieces that will not
be finished on the backside. If you grind this joint, you will
end up with a seam made of only welding. Also it is harder to
align pieces using the V-butt. I'm planning on getting the
overlap-butt tool. This will leave a thinner weld seam when
ground. As far as rust proofing the backside, if you can't
access the backside, you may have to drill a hole and use a
rustproofing/undercoating wand of some kind to apply a rust
preventative, then plug the hole. Hope I've answered your
questions.
