I have just joined three small pieces of 4mm mild steel together. I prepped by taking all the mill scale off and then chamfered the edges of all the pieces to form a quite deep V.
The used the Clarke fluxcore on Max/2 with quite a high wire speed. I was quite impressed with how it went. Plan is now to grind back the weld to flat.
I then need to drill and tap a hole to take M6 as I am making a small V block clamp. Will I be OK? Will the weld be harder than the mild steel? Will be using a small drill press. TIA.
