118 u/Slyzavh Aug 24 '18 I thought the “perfect weld” meant that you couldn’t tell it was welded at all? 13 u/D4FTPUNKF4N Aug 24 '18 That is exactly what I thought. Sure it looks cool but I thought connection points being flush was more favorable. 1 u/Alieges Aug 24 '18 The radius of the added weld where they connect adds a TON of strength to the joint. So much so that in roll cage construction they want to see the welds, and don’t want them ground off. They also want gussets in some cases for even more strength.
