What happens here

At the first welding station, the basic shell of the brush cutter's deck arrives after being plasma cut and bent at an off-site shop. A welder named Jay uses tack welding to secure the deck angles and bottom stiffeners into place. This process ensures the structural integrity and correct alignment of the main housing before full welding. Once tack-welded, the deck is ready for the next stage of assembly.

Goal: Tack weld the main deck components for structural integrity

Tools and materials

  • Metal Deck Components — Forming the main body of the brush cutter
