A ton of blades later along and a lot of practice just to get to this.at the other end of the scale in terms of small scale precision and control. 1.6mm needle sharp and even polished on scotchbrite, made a good difference.

Welds on @Jonny s titanium exhaust are something gorgeous! Pitty BMW put so much effort into the exhaust yet send out near every car with orange peel paint

@PeteMoore what sort of joint prep do you do for the likes of the bell housing? I'm assuming its a full pen weld?

Grooved back as far as I dare to remove all the affected material, 120 grit DA, scotchbrite and a metric f**kton of acetone. Few tacks. Preheat. Root pass at around 100A then turn it up to 140 ish for a nice fill pass and back down to 100ish to cap it off. Rinse and repeat on the other side.

Awesome work, i thought there would be a bit to it since it looks a good 12-15mm thick. I'm sure the customer was happy to get away with the repair and not a new housing

cracking work as always pedro! I'm just glad one of us on this side of the water won that drill. it's a hell of a game changer for the workflow. Not like getting some rods or a keyring, a genuine asset to have in the workshop so health to enjoy!
