Removing Weld Seams in Tubing

- In this video i show a simple process of removing the weld seams inside of square tubing that will allow a smaller diameter tube to fit within the next larger size tube. I use very basic tools that most people own.
I know this video is 3 years old and I have watched all those other videos they are talking about and your method is by far the best especially if you don’t have all that high dollar equipment those other guys do. Thanks!
Excellent! Also giving Jason the credit. You have integrity!
Good method. You already answered my only question of whether this would work on a press.
I made a tool just like yours, quite some time back, (PRE-utube), but brazed the piece of tool steel in place, and used a press, essentially "broaching". But yes, I read your comment about "no press available". I worked in a "machine model shop". (nice bucket there, on the floor, in the background) ;)
Thanks for the comment. It’s a great little tool to use and I have a 22ton press and it works like a hot damn, but not everyone has a press but if you are watching this video you probably have a hammer. I do like the idea of brazing the HSS that would make it much easier to use. If only the seams in the tubing were in the same area on every stick. I think I got the bucket at Lowes a long time ago, haven’t seen any lately but I do like it better than the Orange HD buckets.
Great simple solution for small lengths of tubing. However for longer lengths like 5', you would definitely need a hydraulic press and many small sections of the inner tube to keep feeding in behind the tool. For the tool itself, if you wanted a permanent solution, I would use a solid piece with a notch or notches but for carbide tips that can be screwed into place at the edges. It would be worth doing if you do this regularly.
Simple, quick, effective……brilliant…
I like this methed of removing the weld seam but it is good that you gave credit to Fireball on his meathed of removing the weld seam. There are other RUclipsrs that make out that they are the first to fix the problem.
Thanks. This helped me. Got the seam out of my receiver tube.
Best seam removal I've ever seen was actually done by a carpenter with a block of wood, a couple of bearings, a drill bit extension,and a double cut burr
Chris Loveall agreed, the next level carpenter had a great idea for sure, I’m not typically the one that really gets down in the weeds very far, and try to not over complicate things if I don’t have too. I definitely think his gadget would work really well, and wouldn’t mind giving it a try. $5.00 for some HSS and a hammer worked well enough for me. I don’t do production work but if I did I’d look into purchasing his seams impossible tool for sure
I’m still trying to picture this. I’m imagining a drill, threaded rod with cutting head. Not sure why the bearings.
Chris Loveall that guy only coppied the same from a nother youtube video with a slight difference.

Everyman's handy tool. Great! Thank you for the demo.
Absolutely, not much a man can’t fix with a hammer! If we can’t fix it we can wreck it and then tell the wife we have to get a new one
Really like that technique
AMAZING!! Love it. Thank you so much for this awesome solution.
That looks like a great idea. I may have a project coming up where this might be perfect.
Nice job! I did the same thing but with a 28" long thick wall box tubing. I did weld a 1/2" plate at the end with a 3/4" hole welded a nut at either side of the plate. My problem was I had no exit to my tubing, it was welded shut. So I hammered it in like you did. It was a 30" length I had to remove the weld seam from. I was working up a sweat by the end, but I got it. Then I just put a plate with a 3/4" hole and slid it down the threaded rod, and drew the cutter out of the hole. I saw all the curled up weld seam when I got it out. Thanks for sharing your video, it was very helpful!
Using a nut.
Steve Avis you’re welcome, thanks for the feedback. When I made this video I had watched the video by Fireball tools where he used all thread and a nut, but when I tried to emulate his trick I realized I didn’t have enough room inside the tubing for the all thread and the HSS blank. Glad it helped you out
This is a great idea! Thank you very much.
Nice work!
Good idea! Thanks!
hey thanks for sharing... nice simple solution
Nicely done 👍
I like it!!!! Good to see you give credit where credit is due. Progressively longer cutters might be easier to use and cut closer to the inner surface. Wonder if someone has devised an easy method for removing the weld from steel tubing?

Thanks for taking the time to share. I'll go with your method although i liked the Fireball tool setup i don't do enough of this to build his.
Yeah I liked his set up too, and was attempting to make it when I realized that the all thread HSS and block wouldn’t fit in the tube I had. So I improvised. There’s another video of a Carpenter using a carbide burr and a block of wood. Seems to work well but both are complicated. Thanks for the comment.
Tennis elbow sucks. Good video, thanks for the tip. :)
Great tip 👍
Thanks again!, steve
Good job, thanks for sharing! ;)
if you just need to do a small amount of removal this seems like a great way to go.
For production I belive there are other more efficient way. Great tool
Check this out! ruclips.net/video/ozSE7Wrdb1o/видео.html. How do you suggest removing the seem?
nice idea!
🙂 thank you 🙂
Good stuff.
Nice thanks
hmmmm interesting way to get the weld out , seen another way using a rotary butt but this is faster and cheaper to build
i need to get in a bit farther and stop halfway up the outer pipe so i probably loose the hardened steel bit in the end and i need to make the smaller tube longer to be able to reach and be able to get it back out but i think it should work
starting to wonder if i can make a tool that works like it but using a reasonably tight fitting square block of aluminium holding a round insert up about hafway up that block (gives you the start you need without the need for a chissel ) and make the round bar drive rod with a treaded end , that way you can unscrew the driverod and inser a piece of alltread and use the ring and nut method to pry the tool back out of the depts of the square tube
nifty trick
Cool !!!
Wondering how that would work in a press? Cheers
now we have telescopic seamless square pipe in stock.
I can see if you got a hydraulic press with a pass though base, this would make this way to easy!
Yes absolutely I have a 22 ton press and it makes it super easy. I just showed this method because most folks don’t have a press but they do have a hammer
Get on with it man!
George H. Reed Jr. too much talking? Or you like the process?
So I'm wondering if the HSS cutting edge was ground down to the tolerance of the I.D. of the tube but a small dimple was left protruding from it in line with the weld, would it take the weld down to below the surface or bind up in the process. Just curious. Excellent video.
Fred Mertz thank you for the comment. As for your question I think it would work just fine, but I think you would need either a bigger hammer or a hydraulic press to get it through, but I only need to remove enough of the seam to fit the next sized pipe
A short stroke air hammer with an extra long cold chisel takes 30 seconds.
Wouldn't it be easier to just mill a very small slot on the outside of the smaller (malel) tube?
I just use the harbor freight weld seam remover tool
*That thing works great and best $39 i ever spent.*
I couldn't find that tool at Harbor Freight. Are you talking about the band file?
Place it in the press!
Great idea for short sections in the home shop. Gotta ask... do you use that cold cut chisel on other types of meat? 😆
Mike Allan thank you, it has worked great for me. I have a bad habit of buying cheap Harbor Freight/Northern Tool chisels, and I hardly know what I am doing when I have a chisel in my hand!!!
Just use a mini 18” belt grinder it’s much easier
Could just use DOM steel but it costs more.
What is DOM steel? Never heard of it.
Are you Abom79’s brother. You sound a lot like him.
Nope, but I am an Abomb79 subscriber!
Looks like a hydraulic press would be easier, maybe.
Absolutely if you have a hydraulic press, it is much easier than beating it with a hammer
Large vise might be all you need.
Guess before long your insert tool will be mushrooming and will need regrinding...
Acampestre Do you mean the piece of tubing the holds the HSS cutting bit? Yes it can mushroom out, but only before it gets all the way into the tube your cutting.
@@lazyjmetalworks9626 , yes, I mean the piece of square tubing that holds the HSS bit. It might be of no concern if all the pieces you have to deburr are shorter than this holding piece. But as soon as that is not the case or if you have for some reason to get that piece through the outer square tubing, that is when it gets problematic.
Acampestre yes you are correct. I usually hit the piece in the belt sander to knock and burs off of it. The dimensions of that piece isn’t too critical as long as it supports the HSS bit and the bit is the right length to cut the weld. I’m sure you saw the next level carpentry video? He has a great way of removing the seams albeit quite complicated, I’ve been tempted to try his method and see how it works, don’t want to pay $125 for his tool since I don’t remove weld seams very often
I would hold it with something other than my hand if I were doing it myself, don't want to hit something valuable
Genius son!
Good way to ruin the surface of your anvil is to hammer cold steel on it.
Have a think about putting a plate of mild steel or brass on their first. Your anvil will thank you!
Nice idea, but it is now the old way. Here's the new way: ruclips.net/video/ozSE7Wrdb1o/видео.html
This is dumb. What if you need to remove the weld on 2 feet of pipe? if you keep hammering on the smaller tube 2 things will happen. The square pipe will expand and get stuck inside, or you will smash a couple of fingers. Not very bright.
