Weld prep is very important, if this isn't right then the weld won't be as well

must have a good purge, can't have too much pressure or it will push the weld up making the inside concave, or worst case blow through the puddle

parts have to be clean and ends must be cut square...

I'm not a machinist, but it was my understanding a person has to know how to machine a part, THEN they can program the CNC to do the work.

If your given a print and don't know how to machine it, the the cnc is going to be sitting idle.

I guess my point is shouldn't manual machining...
