Reply:Zap , Looks good. I have seen a lot of these rollers been done from you. Whats holding up the other end on the roller when its running on the lathe? Are you using a live center?One other question are you using a four jaw chuck?

Reply:Undercut is not always a problem.  Especially on a concave weld in a situation like that.  The only stresses on that weld are sheer forces.  If that was on any other pieces where it could be bent or pulled then an undercut would be the thinnest part of the material and that would be the weak point where a crack would start.  The undercutting doesn't make that piece thinner.  The cutting is into material unrelated to the weld.  That make sense at all?Granted a REAL GOOD TIG welder wouldn't cut it anyways.  j/k Zap, your welds are some of the best i've seen.   :P
