Andre,
When you cut the holes in your ct for the ports, the ct will go out of shape big time.  Tack weld the  bottom of the ct to a strong plate before you cut the holes and weld the port rings in, then you can remove the plate.

 I`m
 using plasma.
 Was
 thinking if there were any stress in the shell after the
 rolling, it would tend to distort due to weakening after
 cutting out the hole.

 Hi André
  
 Not such a issue wit a plasma cutter.
 
 The full penetration welds will cause
 more 
 distortion.
 Temporery reinforfment
 okay.

 Distortion when cutting in 
 shell
 
 
 
 Hi all,
 
 
 When you cut out the hole for the conningtower, is
 distortion of the shell 
 an issue?
 
 
 My shell is 12mm in thickness. Wondering if I should
 place a reinforcement 
 ring on either side of the hole to be cut -Not welding them
 so I can remove them 
 after I have tacked the tower in place.
 
 
 
 
 Thanks
 André
