Step 1: Metal Cutting Time
This section requires patience to cut good metal pieces !
Step 2: Assembly of Metal Pieces
In all cases, tack welding must be required to join together metal pieces.

For fine steel thickness, I advise you to weld with stainless steel sticks. This technique allows assembling two parts of fine steel thickness without passing through steel pieces.
- welding intensity = 30 - 35 A
