I've known too many welders that didn't want to bother with backing plates or cutting a proper bevel for that matter. It's good to see someone doing it right. Did anyone else notice that the initial crack was in the HAZ rather than the actual weld. That's a pretty typical situation.

I retired from a 40 year career in the steel/scrap metal recycling business. All heavy industrial, auto shredders. shears, electric furnaces, casting machines, rolling mill stands etc. My last 8 years I sold engineered steel castings for rock crushers & auto shredders. Worked with many guys like you which in my opinion are some of the most talented people out there today. I really enjoy your videos because they bring back memories of all those guys that got us up & running again.

Really nice work. And so pleased to see you leave the finished weld cleaned but unground. Superb welding like that should not be concealed. BTW: Your last (Unconventional welding) vid exactly made my point about 800A welding. If you're looking for ideas for other things to destroy at 800A, for kicks and internet clicks, can I suggest a 1oz platinum bar: 41x24x1.5mm (~1.6 x x1 x 1/16") and only ~$1000 a pop. Using a tungsten rod woul dmake for some spectacular video withhuge arcs, but a 10 x 300mm rod is only ~$250.

@@badjeepman sure, I just meant a plasma and 1/16 here doesn’t make it look easy. A torch and 1/16 wire would do the same or a torch and rod you could make it look easy. Tools don’t make the welder the welder does. At a point having more tools yes makes life easier. I just don’t see how those tools did it here to the effect of your original comment. I just repaired broken arms on a big dozer with a torch and 1/16 wire. I don’t understand how a plasma would have made that deceptively look easy for example. That’s all I meant and not everything can be wire welded. Some customers have their own or manufacturer procedures they like to follow that req pre or post heat and say 8018 for example.
