Hey chaps thought i would ask those here in case i am missing a trick.
I am making up a gate from some 40x20mm stock tubing with a 2mm wall thickness and across the width which it 1200mm i am welding some 10mm sqaure bar every 150mm.
For the life of me i cant get the square bar to not twist. Clamping it or holding it in a vice works great but as soon as you release the vice or clamps it twists.
I am using good old stick welding with 2mm rods and 50Amps. Much higher and i blow a hole in the tubing.
Any tips appreciated.
