I like the drwgs. Simple to read...all info spaced so nothing is crammed up. I really like the inches & fractions. No foreign jibberish, metriq to spoil it. Very cool the twisting light swirling ! I'd enjoy welding/fitting there.
One thing I don't understand. Is when I've gone to take weld tests I will see various sized welds listed one the blue prints similar to here. But with only one size of wire (gmaw) how are all the specs for weld sizes realistically to be met??
It's pretty simple usually you see 3 standard fillet welds in America idk where you are @ but you have a 3/16 fillet weld, a 1/4 inch fillet weld, and a 5/16 fillet weld. Let's say the weld symbol says 3/8. It takes 3 fillet welds stacked like a staircase 1 1/4 inch fillet weld in the center, another 1/4 inch fillet weld on the bottom toe, and another 1/4 inch fillet weld on the top toe of the the last weld. One weld center, bottom and top it makes a 3/8 weld. To get bigger size welds you just have to stack welds in the right order.
A 3/16 weld is ran pretty fast, 1/4 weld is ran at a steady pace, and a 5/16 weld is ran a little slower just making sure that your weld toes are spread evenly. It takes time and practice get a weld fillet gauge and try making different size welds with it.
