What is Back Gouging?
Back gouging is the removal of weld and base metal by arc gouging or grinding from the other side of a partially welded joint to assure complete fusion and penetration upon subsequent welding from that side. Aluminum miller blades can be used for milling, cleaning up and grooving, and cutting out welding tacks. These blades are made to industry standards and can be sharpened many times.
Welding aluminum without making a back gouge before welding the backside of the material can cause you problems. The lack of a back gouge can cause voids and overall lack of material..

Purchasing a high-quality knife will yield you much better results and last a lot longer.
The knives that are included in your stationary or portable power planes are good for getting started out of the box, but they won’t produce the best results and will ultimately fail the test of time. There are a few different types of knives you can find on the market for your power planer:
TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) or HM (Hard Metal)
The TCT blades are tipped with a tungsten carbide insert to increase the longevity of the blade. The blades will last the longest when compared to steel blades..
When it comes to high-precision woodworking operations—whether moulding, doors & windows, flooring, or panel processing—standard tools often fall short of the mark. That’s where custom cutters come into play. This article explores what custom cutters are, why a shop might invest in them, how the process works, and what to consider when specifying them.
1. What Are Custom Cutters?
Custom cutters are cutting tools—such as router bits, shaper knives, and profiler heads—that are designed and manufactured to a specific profile or application rather than being “off-the-she..
What exactly is an End Mill?
At first glance, you might think that end mills are just different types of drill bits. As the name suggests, however, end mills are used in milling applications and are a type of cutting tool. There are several categories available, and they may be further divided by the application, such as slotting, side milling, tapering, or pocket milling.
What is Milling?
To have a better understanding of end mills and their uses, one needs to know what milling is. In basic terms, milling is a technique that uses a rotating cutting tool to carve out 3-dimensional s..

Choosing the best carbide tipped saw blade
It can be quite a daunting task, but once you break it down and understand what each difference makes, you can select a great blade for your specific cutting job.
Determine the correct diameter of saw blade needed.
This will usually be listed somewhere on your saw and could be indicated in SAE (inches) or Metric (millimeters). So a 10” saw may be listed as 250mm and these are in most cases interchangeable. The outside diameter of a saw does not in most cases need to match exactly but should not be over the specified diameter for th..
