Welding Distortion Tips - Keep it Square - Video

[Lee Roberts]

Humm, good pointers he's given you, I always find allot of emphasis is given to building the frames, when really so long as your within a few mm it's more than enough, OK square is square, right is right and not right is wrong but ultimately so long as the rails and leadscrew are parallel and on the same plane for each axis, you cant really go wrong.

Obviously this means then, your first reference edge (Datum Reference) is where you start from and working from that is where you really want to be as finicky as you possibly can, exactly where you position that first edge on the steel doesn't really matter, relatively of course.
