>is it possible
For you, no

>>1106609
assuming you don't want welds around the base sticking out

drill thru hole in plate
put nut on so its perpendicular to sheet
put nut & bolt combo thru hole a little bit
weld on other side
grind down flush
remove nut

Has no one in here worked with panels on machinery before?

Google 'weld on studs' you dopes. The right angled ones are the easiest.

Use a friction weld.
Put the bolt in the chuck of a drill press and anchor the plate to the base to get your 90 degree angle.
The heat for the weld is generated from the friction of the spinning bolt on the plate.

plug weld

Yes, but as a hobbyist a plug weld is easier and stronger if you care about the threads at the base of the stud.

That's entirely too much fucking work.

You should invest in a bench vise and learn to use it if that's your take on how to weld it in place.
