I use square welded seam tubing some times and at times use the next smaller or larger size to fit the other. Usually this is to add an adjustable or removable feature to the assembly. Up till now it has mostly been short enough or large enough that I could get to the seam with a die grinder and a carbide burr. This last job was with 2 1/2" 1/4 wall thickness and 3" 1/4" wall thickness 26" long.
I had to make a broach to press through the outer tube to cut the seam down to allow a sliding fit. I'm wondering if anyone has any other tricks that I could use if this ever comes up on another job with a different size tube.
