Helpful for a newbie welder
By JAL
I am new to welding and wanted something to help me set up corners and add legs to square frames. This unit is heavy duty and solid, good enough to hold 1 1/4 inch 11 gauge steel square tubing. The jig is nicely machined to create 90 degree corners and posts. The upper arm swings out of the way and has been improved with a two "finger" set point. Just make sure both fingers are on the work piece and not flipped to the side! The quick release buttons are nice. If you use long tubing you will want to support the ends when setting up the jig so that the pieces are flat on the jig. I put four tacks on the visible surfaces of the joint, removed the piece, flipped the piece over and put four more tacks on the remaining surfaces. I did not otherwise weld in the jig. I did not use the jig for the final setup. Instead I placed the two welded angles on a flat surface and tacked the final two corners using clamps to hold the pieces in place. Only then did I begin welding.I found very little info on building a rectangular table support using square tubing. Basically you can cut the pieces square and butt the corners OR you can try to put 45 degree miter cuts into the square tubing for an improved look. If you butt the corners you will have an open end that may need to be closed or plugged. If you try to miter using a 14 inch abrasion saw as I did, be prepared for frustration. With trial and error and a "square" you can set up a 45 angle cut, but the blade may flex creating a slightly twisted cut. Unless you set up a solid stop, repeated accuracy in length is not to be expected. I was finally able to build a right angle rectangle out of tubing by cutting both opposite sides of the rectangle at once, basically stacking one piece of tubing on top of its opposite cousin and holding them in place using the "gates" of the saw. I was able to do this since the gates of my saw completely supported both sides of both pieces of tubing when stacked. It is important to also clamp the pieces downward on the saw. Of course you need to make sure the combined height of the pieces does not exceed the cutting capacity of the saw. I have not seen this cutting technique described in any book or online so use this technique at your own peril.There are some videos on the weld procession to avoid warpage. I beveled the top and bottom edges 50% of the depth and the corner about 25%. I began by gas MIG welding using a push technique the top and bottom "butt" joints beginning at the inside corner and working toward the outside corners. I then turned the piece for a horizontal "T" or fillet weld on the inner corner. I then welded the outside corner for looks ;).
