Has anyone ever bought a tank from China? Or is that as bad as my welding skills.

Help

Advice needed

I need to cut off these recessed bolts to remove the plate.

When cutting with the torch, should I just go straight through and cut right into everything?
Or is there a way to melt off the head by angling the torch, allowing the bolt to drop out the other side of the wall? (There’s a nut on the other side holding the plate in place.)

I already used many times a torch but just for plate cutting… now I’m required to remove these plates without damaging the iron wall behind them.

Just got myself a Welder

Took welding class over a decade ago but never really weld out in reality. But I decided to grab my first welder which is the Titanium Flux 125 for a small project I got going on. Already got the voltage to the lowest setting but it still making the holes bigger. Am I moving too slow? The gap is too big? Does the speed wire needs increasing if temp is at the minimum? What you do at this point? This is a subframe on a 90s Honda.
