Yep, de-burring or easing edges is as important as making things dimensionally correct. It is part of the process. Smart management enforces this with an iron fist, knowing how much time and money is lost when employees need to be sewn up. It's tough to get some folks on board with the practice though.

And I appreciate the tips about tools to flat and bevel edges! I've got a project where I need to homebrew a little bending brake for some titanium and stainless hardware. The tips about using the grinder and the flap wheel discs might well be the trick for rough and fine finishing the press brake. Then, I can dial in the bend radius, and figure out how much extra angle I need to account for springback to make my 90-degree bends.

All great advice, thank you. As you say the finish product is the sum of the details. It all ends up looking so much nicer when you add a few details while paying attention to the little things that are cumulative in a "finished" project rather than just one that is only completed. Have you looked into the mini air chamfering tools that somewhat resemble a router in concept and do a fantastic job in producing a repeatable chamfer on plate steel or aluminum. Much more consistent than a flap wheel for inside and outside bevels.

You missed the most important tip, bevel the edges of the weld seam (or butting the 2 edges creating a 90° gap like you did). Not only is it stronger (as you know, more surface area of weld, as well as penetration is knowingly consistent!). It's also much more visually appealing since you're filling in a void as opposed to adding material on top! Another design that's easy to do is triangular shapes with rounded corners (since as stated, sharp corner creates a stress zone) but drill the corners then cut connecting the dots! Circles are nice because the ease of adding in a cross support which is also more visually appealing as well.

Is a convolute wheel the same as a deburring wheel? I looked them up but couldn’t see much from the photos. They appear to just be grinding discs. One site however allowed me to zoom in (on a deburring wheel) and it looked like a dense Scotchbrite pad. Am I on the right track? I’d be willing to try one.

I’m a fabricator for a living and agree with your bit about just sanding your weld if it’s not that pretty. If it’s pretty, great. If not oh well. As long as there’s full penetration and fill, without a bunch of undercut, nobody gives a shit. If they do they’re probably a hobby welder that spends too much time on instagram and haven’t been humbled yet
@ambrosebrower87608 ай бұрын
Side note, I’m one of the ones that disagree with the stack of dimes mig look especially on tabs and brackets that see a load of any kind. Keep your wire at the leading edge of the puddle and quite playing around. You will not penetrate as much with any kind oscillating compared to a straight and steady push or pull weld. Just look at the automated welds on truck frames and that sort. No dimes. It would be easy to program if it had a benefit.

Truth. Bevels and smooth edges can create a channel between the metal being bonded making for a stronger weld. Pretty is as pretty does. Function and strength is key when you're doing 150mph+ down the dragstrip or banging against the boulders in Johnson Valley.
@commonsenseisdeadin20248 ай бұрын
He didn't mention in the video but I also commented saying basically the same. He mentioned beveling the exposed edges but not of the weld seam. To better describe what you said, beveling gives you more surface area for the weld and also basically eliminates the worry of penetration thus making the strength much more consistent throughout the entire joint. 45° minimum total grove is a structural spec (22.5° on each with a v groove bevel or 45° with a single bevel.) For these brackets I'd do a single bevel and have the plate flush with the side edges beveling only the inner plate. Regardless, plenty strong really no matter how you construct it given you have solid welds! Also makes it visually appealing as the weld will be more flush and the back and forth motion of bridging the gap and filling in the void gives you the scales (aka "stacking dimes look"). He didn't never his edges, instead he butted they two inside corners which is the same thing. Visually I don't like it as much because it gives it a weird rounded edge. I don't know if there's a strength advantage/disadvantage to either or.

Absolutely !!!! the mil thickness difference is substantial and even more so with powder coating...the sharp edges will always be the point of peeling or lifting of the powder coat in time and thus starting the creeping of under rust making powder coat bubble and peel even more. I one sands the bevel to a radius, even minutely, it is huge in paint and powder coat adhesion. Think of cutting and breaking a piece of etched or scratched glass over the edge of a table to make a straight edge...the same is happening to paint and powder coatings.

Never seen a square window on an airplane. Curves provide strength and lessen weak points. Hence the term, "Weak POINTS." Also, ever notice dust on the leading edge of a ceiling fan blade? Yep! That is because there is ZERO velocity on the leading edge of a blade or wing. Beveling edges allows paint to have a stronger and longer surface edge (Did you say, :EDGE???") fro the paint to stick and not have a weak point. Curves, or arches, or arcs provide strength for a structure. Most importantly, they just look cool. "Straight lines" ONLY exist in theory and math, and we are not here for that... Nice Fab Work Tips!

Why you being so nosey? Nothing to see here, move along. I don’t know how to use it yet. 😆 Been planning a series on learning TIG using only WeldCoach.com

@@GarageFab Shiny new things catch my eye 🤣. I'm about to have a Mig 285 on the way too. I'm definitely going to book a Weld Coach session or 2 as well. I've already learned alot from Justin's TFS videos over the years, time to get serious now that I actually have the machine!

Should get a pneumatic chamfering tool... I completely forgot about them.
