Sorry Phil mate, I have to take exception to that statement if I may !!??
Incorrect welding procedure leads to weld failure .... Shabby fitting joints can be made good with the correct weld procedure ( Obviosly propper prep is desireable )
Your statement also seems to imply that anyone not using a milling machine to cut the compound mitres is somehow doing a shabby job, a gross insult to the folks that know how to use their tools
In my humble opinion, using a mill to cut the compound mitres is like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut
Nothing wrong with a simple hacksaw, bandsaw, compound mitre saw or even a grinder .... It's purely down to the users ability to make correct use of the tool in question !!??
Methinks you could do with a spell working in a dockyard doing some propper plate work, you'll soon learn how to cope with gap filling
BTW
Never had a ship sink yet through a weld failure
