A little tack would make a weak spot about 50% through
Machining a sir clip would make a weak spot all the way around but not all the way through

Latheing out a sir-clip groove is the better way to go, while you are actually removing material you are also replacing it at the same time with the clip !

Doesnt look to me like he is talking about a way to stop an axle doing anything. Looks like he is asking how to build something the right or wrong way.
Either way it desnt make any sence at all.
This is why i guess not many have answered.

Thats a little better info.
1st- Dont machine a groove as the clip is replacing nothing it never becomes part of the axle so the matirial you remove is gone.
2nd- You wont fit a Circlip at the 30 spline end anyway as there is no room inside the diff centre.
3rd- A tac of weld wont penitrate 50% into the axle i doubt it will even penitrate 10% in. One small tac is all that is needed but it then needs to be ground down to fit inside the centre.
4th- What type of CVs are you using to require removal of the inner clip?

I just put my longs in yesterday and have a lockright and needed to put the circlip in as the axle went too far past the seal. If I had the resources and time I would have used a martack. But I need the car for work and had to do job yesterday. I also found the long side CV was creacked in two places
Hopefully the longs will last.

The long was Cracked or the one you pulled was cracked?

No the standard CV

You really need to pull the LONG's out pretty soon and replace the snap ring with a Martac!!!
If you don't and you snap an axle you will have a nightmare of a time getting the broken part of the axle out of the Longfield!!!!!
Not with the new style as there is no ring welded on.
Yea I have the new style that is why I used the circlip. I figure it will be ok. Time will tell
