That sounds interesting,you are doing half of the stud at a time i guess less pressure required.i will think about it before i grind the tool,thanks.

you are probably right because the internal tube is rotted away for a couple of inches it is steel,i guess they did not last forever.when they went must of been interesting!

that is it,mine is brazed near the out let either a blow hole or crack,hard to see inside tube is in the way.
