Hi welders,
Every now and then I'll have to make a steel cabinet that does not fit through the door of my clients. This means I'll have to make the cabinet in parts and put it together on location.
Normally I do this by welding a steel profile with a smaller diameter on the first cabinet part and a profile with a bigger diameter, that slides over the smaller one, on the other cabinet part. I'll fix these in place with a small screw.
Usually I am working with square tubing in the sizes 20*20*2mm, 25*25*2mm or 30*30*2mm.
Relatively it takes quite some time to weld on the smaller profiles and grind of the welds so the bigger profile can slide all the way to the end. Also there is always a screw visible, which is ofcourse not what I want.
I was wondering if you guys might have any tricks to get this done faster or easier. Or if there are some tools or parts that make assembly on location easier. I attached a photo to give you an idea of the kind of cabinets that I am talking about.
Best,
Maarten
