God seems to have an iffy sense of humor :)
Joining the corner radius of a tube with a square edge of another tube I would consider a bevel weld, where the square tube faces are at 90 deg to each other I guess is a fillet weld and the two open cut ends of the tube would constitute a butt weld.
It would have been easy enough to correct the angle of the joint with shims (although this would have made a simple job take longer) but my issue was with the saw not being adjusted correctly, the workshop manager took it upon himself to machine one end of the tube to make it square which meant...
Regarding the amount it was out of whack by.
The tubes were 30 and 40 cm long, when set up for welding the runout at the end of the 40 was about 3 mm, the topmost outside faces of the bracket had 150 X 100 X 20 mm mm oblong plates (fillet welded) these plates had four 8 mm threaded holes, I...
My apologies, I should have said butt,bevel and fillet as I was coming off the end of the box section at 90 "but" :) for simplicity I just said butt weld.
This concerns a work issue.
I recently (last Monday) was asked to weld two heavy duty L shaped brackets, simple thing, two sections of 100 X 100 X 6 MM steel box butt welded at 90 deg. The steel had already been cut for me on our band saw, simple you would think.
Came to assemble the parts for welding and discovered that...
