Not a welder and no dog in this discussion, but do have a couple of observations: 1. Worked in a large internationally known gray iron foundry years ago that cast machine tool bases (lathes/mills/shapers/etc.) weighing into the multiple tons in size. Some were so big that the bottom half of the mold (cope/drag??) was actually set into a pit in the floor. After knockout and cleanup, the castings were inspected for flaws/voids/improper knit lines/general integrity. Both structural and cosmetic defects were repaired using OA and rough sticks of metal from that pour. Of course either ovens or large spot burners were used in the repair, along with proper cooling rates depending on the casting size. The repair guys were the specialists and IIRC recieved higher wages, as a proper repair would save the cost of a re-pour. 2. I think Lanse did title his post "...the RIGHT way" (his capitalization).
