Started making a new wheeled platform for the EWM today. Plasma cut some 8mm Alu for the base and 5mm for the sides.
Started welding and noticed some porosity in the weld and then remembered I hadn't cleaned the plasma cut edge with the wire brush so stopped, gave it a whirl with the stainless brush in the cordless drill and the porosity was gone.
Just goes to show what a difference a quick brush can make. Not too worried about the porosity as it won't really make any difference as there is no load on the side and it is only a small section of it anyway.
