6 Welding squares for under $20...DIY

- 2.5 inch wide 4"x6" angle iron. Half inch thick!
6 Welding squares for less than $20. I had this heavy piece of angle left over from a project kicking around for a couple years. My local metal supplier sells me steel by the pound and this piece would have been under $20. I have been wanting more squares and they have been too expensive for the little I would use them.
This angle was very close to true 90 with only a little sanding and grinding to bring it into spec. You will see I made 2 of these a little narrower for smaller jobs and I cut the inside rounded corner out to make it true inside as well.
A few tools used in this project I will link below. I want to shout out to Olson saw blades. I bought this king bandsaw over 6 years ago and I broke the 2 blades that came with it new in the first week. After a bunch of research and reading a lot of reviews I bought 3x 64.5" @14 TPI Bi-Metal blades and only put the 3rd blade on during this job. 3 years for 3 blades!

Pretty cool video. Thanks for making this.
Never ASSUME angle is always exactly 90 degrees. Most of the time its over just enough to be a pain.
My thought also - I would have milled the two faces square - relying on the accuracy of my mill - not perfect, but probably within a reasonable tolerance. But, having and using a mill would probably defeat the intent of the video - low cost, easy to make "squares".
What a great idea! Thank you!
You're Welcome!
Está buenísimo...desde Republica Dominicana..
I never found a piece of angle that was Square enough without Milling the right angle
Agreed! Easy enough to clamp it to the lathe cross-slide and use a fly-cutter if no mill in the workshop, but uncorrected angle-iron on its own is blatant over-optimism!
If you would have bandsawed the angle with the corner up it would have cut faster and probably more accurately depending on the blade you were using.
I was happy with the accuracy. It would definitely cut faster corner up.
Y bn porqué al inicio hace ud los dos trazos en las caras del ángulo, si solo con trazar en la parte del filo del ángulo y poner su máquina de corte a escuadra , ya tiene para que el corte salga parejo , la verdad no entendí esa parte , podría explicarlas?
I was not sure how it was going to cut best in the machine (position) so I fully marked it. Also to find out how true the cut ended up.
Slight movement on 90 joint at 5:23 🧐
Угольник приложить и угла 90° может и не быть
🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can you sell me some? It’s for a a project. I don’t have tools worse a shop.
Email me if you like Address in bio.
HOPEFULLY this is 90°.
Most ibeams are off
This piece is the squarest piece I have seen. It still took a little time on the belt sander.
Why did you bother marking this angle when you can't even see the marks when cutting the angle it was completely stupid?
Not square at all
😐 too fast 👎👎👎👎👎
