[PSUBS-MAILIST] Distortion when cutting in shell

Hi André
 
Not such a issue wit a plasma cutter. 
The full penetration welds will cause more distortion.
Temporery reinforfment okay.

Hi all, 

When you cut out the hole for the conningtower, is distortion of the shell
an issue?

My shell is 12mm in thickness. Wondering if I should place a reinforcement
ring on either side of the hole to be cut -Not welding them so I can remove
them after I have tacked the tower in place.


Thanks
André
