Did u fab that together from scratch? Is the flange predrilled. I always hated predrilled flanges, cause locating can be a pain in the ass cause of the bolt circle being perfectly straddled or on center.

Yeah from scratch burnt all the pieces on the plasma table then bent lips and tacked together. Yeah that flange is going to be tricky we’re supposed to order a necked flanged that just welds on but it’s an odd size so we might have to make the whole thing from scratch. Flanges can be tricky we always 2 hole then and level them to each other

You lay a dam nice bead, we sure could have used you were I worked.
Northrop Grumman always supplied the flgs for their jobs, predrilled with a serrated face, it sucked, one application called for the bolt pattern to be 5° off center, that job sucked. Your making these parts with no knowledge of what attaches to them or how critical location has to be. I definitely enjoyed my first long term job were we made our own product, making other peoples stuff can be a real challenge, not knowing the whole picture. I hated Nuclear or Military work, stuff is so over engineered. But probably for good reason.

TY for the reps @Mossy and Good afternoon to you.

If your company is ever thinking of an upgrade, talk them into a water jet, beautiful cut and no deburring.
