Reply:Depends on how well the coupons are welded.Some of the welds I've seen on WW, a 1/2 T press would be fine.In fact, now that I think about it, a vice and a pair of vice grips would probably do.Syncro 250 DX Dynasty 200 DXMM 251 w/30A SG XMT 304 w/714 Feeder & Optima PulserHH187Dialarc 250 AC/DCHypertherm PM 1250Smith, Harris, Victor O/ASmith and Thermco Gas MixersAccess to a full fab shop with CNC Plasma, Water Jet, etc.
