Height Adjustable Stand

Let’s look at the back side of the socket weld to see what kind of penetration I got:



I am not so impressed with this penetration.

Here is the .082” or so tubing (main mast/outside tube) on the 1/2” plate.

3 autogenous tack welds, 1 regular tack weld, 360° around autogenous (skipping around), lay wire technique with 3/32” filler rod (not skipping around), & the weld did not need washing.

150A max & usually using all of it.









See undercut in tubing, third picture down. Can you say stress riser?
