This gives a nice feeling. There will be plates on each side for extra strenght.

And no; at the lower isn't a cut in the weld it is the light fooling around.

looks good - do you use a plasma cutter for profiling the parts?

i would weld it with less welds..

you put a tremendous amount of heat in it...

didn't it pull anywhere??

It didn't get the change, it melded into to jig



I'm always thinking "one weld extra" and "where is no weld, there will be water between"

Unless the camera angle is playing tricks....

....those mortar lines look awful thick

CNC wire eroder = controlled sparkes technology I think

There are 2 options 1 is the wire the other is with a mold the mold goes closer and closer to the sheet and then the sparks eat bit by bit the material away.

not exactly a normal way of fabricating this part (my opinion) (expensive!!!)

Terminology would be "Wire EDM" (Electro-spark Discharge Machining). Slow but very precise with very small kerf. No heat involved in the process whatsoever, takes place under water. (or oil)

Edm will cut most any conductive substance including carbide.

Yep, and not expensive

Was for free!

That's the locost-feeling!!

Asked at a company to water cut these and a couple extra parts, 400 Euro's

So the company where he is working cut it out during the night when there was no work to do.

Sometimes you have luck!
