@weldwisdom: Your supervisor says: “Weld it here.” But doesn’t give you the weld size… now what? 👀 Here’s a simple field thumb rule to estimate fillet weld leg length from parent-metal thickness. But what if the two parent metals have different thicknesses? 🤔 Drop your answer in the comments. #FilletWelding #MIGWelding #WeldingTips #WeldingKnowledge
