Thanks, Mr. Ike. And f*** you madest, and when you're through, f*** your skank whore mother.
I might not have chosen the exact same wording but Madest, you are acting like a real piece of trash as usual. |

@OldOllie, the 2 parts seem to be forged pieces. This means there's a lot less waste material. Forging that double cone out of a single piece would be impractical at best. Most likely the tolerances needed won't even allow that.
Machining is a very wasteful and time consuming process. By welding 2 forged pieces like this they achieve a very strong end product, with good radial alignment tolerances. Much cheaper than it would be if they machined from billet material. |

Really neat process. Oldollie, there could be a few reasons why they manufacture this way rather than machine a single piece. |

Truly a wonderful process. I think that I would be quitting the job after the first ten minutes though. |

And this is better than machining the part from one piece of steel because... |

That is cool, but won't work with all welding situations.
Awww, really? I was so gonna try this at the shop Tuesday morning with some square tube steel and flat plate aluminum.
Feel free to smack yourself upside the head while saying "duh". |
