Youâd cut one plate short so that one plate is mounted on the WE and then weld a nut on the bottom portion of the shorter plate. The short plate doesnât get clamped in the WE. But, that will only work âefficientlyâ if the 2 plates donât have any flex to them.

So I found this at the hardware store and we were able to hit 12.7 deg on this fillet knife. The white film is static cling, which gives it an incredible grip. The static cling helped keep it solid with the absence of t…[Read more]
