Precision Cutting Manual cutting often leads to inconsistent fit up that create bottlenecks and may also lead to inconsistent quality. Most advanced welding systems have some sort of memory function to store and recall favorite programs with a push of a button or two, and they may have the ability to add parameter limits and locks.
