Oh, and boilermakers tolerance is 1/4" if they really try and give themselves a headache, welders work to parts of millimetres with ease

welders working to parts of a mm .... no chance buddy

I am worried about being censured for this sort of talk being in Tech instead of GCC.But I have met and worked with too many boilermakers to consider them good for R&D or developmental work, so IMO they don't fit the environment in which I am used to working metal.
That said they weld very well and understand heat input, etc, all the things taught during the apprenticeship.
Cheers

I asked him to repeat the question twice, just to make sure I hadn't missed a word somewhere.
That said, he could lay welds with a mig that rivaled submerged arc. Just wasn't much good at following drawings.
For tolerance, I design fabrications to +/-1mm per metre. If it needs to be better than that then it gets machined after fabrication.
