Hello all,
I’m helping some learner MIG Welders with some butt welds on 3mm steel. The criteria is a 2mm gap and I have been using some spacers which are 2 x 1mm (150mm in length) spot welded together. These have worked fine for a few weeks but the edges are now a bit battered, plus they have spatter on from the lads tacking each side of the 200mm pieces so the supposed 2mm gap is varying quite a bit now resulting in the gaps being bigger at one end than the other - as you can imagine, this is causing a few issues for the lads.
My thoughts are that some 150mm lengths of 2mm would be ideal. Where do you guys suggest I can get some of these delivered which won’t cost a small fortune?
Thank you all.
