Battery Pods

I have previously welded the rings onto the endcaps using E309L electrodes.  Here I am facing the rings so they are perfectly flat.  There was a lot of distortion on the rings after welding and I had to machine off approximately 4mm in places I think.  I deliberately got the rings thicker than I needed in order to allow for this.  At only 45rpm it took forever for just a single pass on this so I was messing about with the camera while the machine plodded through the cuts on automatic feed.
