How square is angle iron? Necessary to mill one face?

Check with your supplier.
There are published tolerances.
What did one of your Mech-es show as required tolerances on the d-r-a-w-i-n-g ?
Or.....If your milling slots and such, laser cut flat plate, and then press brake
into angle.
Should come off the laser, then onto the press brake.
Ready to assemble.

It depends, steel can be good one batch and 3* off on another. It's the same as asking for 48x96 sheet of steel cut in half, it will be 48 1/4 x 48 1/2 as the sheets come 48 1/2 x 96 1/2.
If you want stock that's almost always perfect use aluminum.
Even stainless isn't always square, but it always comes down to where the material came from. My "good" quality supplier has been cheating out lately.

Does not appear to me to matter at all for your application, how are you steering that thing anyways?

I agree, it looks welded so just fixture the edges to where they belong at weld in place. As stated by others it varies a lot but "most" is pretty good

angle is always machined if you want a .001" flatness and perpendicularity tolerance.
.
if you got a .100" tolerance then it dont often need to be machined just measured to confirm its within .100" tolerance

And you have to consider it may have a twist or camber to it. Angle maybe perfect, but if it curves that can throw you off.

*sigh*. No, Pilgim. No mill required. If it is off a skosh more than the application permits (rare that.Damned rare..)?
One just BENDS the silly stuff. Touch with an angle grinder, maybe.
That isn't good enough? Spec a material that IS.
They make bed-rails out of this s**t. Not submarines.
Not if it was die steel, after all.

Most I have found better than or close to +- .010.. Grinding and even milling can release stresses and so may not come out perfect/ or as good as before. Straight is another matter but your product seems to not need perfect..
Aluminum angle is often very close to square.
*Nice looking carts..what are they used for?
