Hi Mog- If you do not stress relieve do not weld. Welding leads to unhappiness and lots of rework.

Thank you for your answer, About that, do you think if i bolt the parts first in various locations then weld them, would that stop some of the unhappiness, i will machine all the mating parts anyhow with milling machine or surface grinder

Your attached images do not work

It's strange, i can see it on my computer but not on my phone
here it should be visible

Do not buy anything more until you have completed your design otherwise you will have a cupboard full of unused parts

Yes you are right about that

Use the bearings you have until they fail, they may not fail

I will
