  1. "Weren't planned for removal." Yes, they were, which is why they're there. No matter how well-designed, all machinery breaks down on occasion, which is why things like removable gearboxes and motors are used. The owner of the machine might keep spares on hand as well. Then there is PM, and preventative shutdowns, where things are removed and rebuilt, to keep the machine running. Things, such as bearing housings in the large weldments, if they're worn out, are welded up, on site, and bored out by portable boring mills, where new bearings are then installed. Everything is designed to be repairable, especially on these multi-million dollar machines.

  2. "Huge pieces of metal had to be cut, and soldered to perfection." There is a huge difference between "soldering" and welding. When non-technical people try to produce a video about a technical topic. I stopped it here.

  5. ​ @kylesanders8276  No, in this, we use the same terminology. I worked within the welding industry before retirement, and sold for a couple of UK welding equipment manufacturers in the US. US and UK blacksmithing terminology are the same.
