I have done quite a few test welds, and it does a good job of that. I had hoped to have done some test anodizing by now, but have been too busy. There is no doubt in my mind that it will allow the highest quality anodizing possible, but I still will run it through the gaunlet. There is one anodizing application in particular that I think it could be especially good for.
Even though it will leave a mark, and it will be a little large than a typical titanium racking mark, there is one difference and that is the welded connection mark would be on one surface only. Aluminum racking and bolting, etc, probably leave larger marks, so the welder will probably allow that to be improved as well as providing a better connection. An external racking clip will leave marks in a least two places, and on opposite sides. It's a lot easier to find one place where a mark won't be too detrimental, but usually it's much harder to find 2 places.
