"1/4 (6 mm) fillet welds" made on parts > 5 mm, are made at weld travel speeds of 18 to 23 inch/min." - [1]
Calculating weld travel speed - [2] - 5-15 IPM for 1/2" steel, fillet weld
Notes: plug welds should run 2x faster than fillet

Example:

Arms of The Liberator CEB Press have 6 feet of weld at 50% weld, using filler weld inside 3/16" gap. Expected IPM weld travel is 10ipm. This indicates that each arm should take 7 minutes to weld.

To do this, we need to have access to the top and bottom of the arms. This means: straddle a table so you can weld from the bottom and top without having to move the arm. Theoretical optimum is about 7 minutes for 4 people welding.
