How do those welds machine? I have a Millermatic 180 so my welder is similar to yours, only newer. I'd love to be able to get welds like that.

The welds cut real nice on the lathe with carbide. I am sure HSS would do the same it just won't hold the edge as long on a big surface. I used to fix all of my screw ups in the big shop with a mig. I bored 4" holes in 1/2" steel plate and if one got a little big i would just tighten it up with the mig :) and recut it. Here is a work pics from about 15 years ago...Bob
