I made a landplane out of mild steel, 1/4" wall thickness, and noticed today that several of the welds were separated from the cutting edge and the angle iron. I am using a smaller Miller but still, 220 Volt unit, had it cranked up, and made several 6-8" welds across the length. I can see where I had plenty of penetration into the cutting edge but they are all breaking loose. Is this a lost cause? I did this once before on a grade blade but the forces on the welds were different so I assume that is why it never failed.
preheat the cutting edge with a torch help?
