I get a lot of repair jobs, so this one was nothing new. The plate is for the base of a structural support column in a large building The plate is cut on a plate machine and the holes are burned through. This particular hole had some kind of failure and did not cut good.

Having not seen the torch cut side until it was on the Lucas horizontal boring mill, I was unsure what I was getting into. Luckily this wasn't too bad of a job, and the customer was happy to not have to scrap this expensive plate.
