welding round to flat
smart51 - 22/2/08 at 11:33 AM

I want to weld a 40mm diameter 19mm thick bush to a flat plate. What’s the best way of filling the gaps? Fillets? Pieces of tube? Angle iron instead of plate?

Suggestions please. Rescued attachment temp.JPG

Angle iron with out a doubt as the welds will buckle the flat bar, I do it like this

no like this as the corners don't do anything, but you only cut them off once it's welded up. Rescued attachment untitled1.JPG
