Perhaps many of you in your practice have to deal with profile pipes, as well as various types of connections.
In this article, the author of the YouTube channel "Be Creative", tells you about one of the ways to beautifully bend the profile pipe at an angle of 90 degrees.
This connection is very reliable, and has an aesthetic appearance. It also lacks sharp external corners, which are undesirable for various furniture designs and sports equipment.

- Profile steel pipe 40X40 mm.

Manufacturing process.
First of all, the master measures the bend point of the profile pipe with dimensions of 40X40 mm. After that, he marks the transverse lines on all sides of the workpiece.
Now one of the important points. The author notes half the width of the pipe, and lays it off the first line. Also marks the longitudinal lines around the pipe.
For radius marking, either a compass, or any round object of suitable diameter, is suitable.
This radius line is drawn from two opposite sides, and the places to be removed are marked.
On one side, slots are made between the first two lines.
Next, two sides are removed.
The resulting workpiece is slightly bent in the opposite direction, and then in the opposite. This results in a right angle with an external fillet.
The workpiece is seized on both sides.
Then all the seams are thoroughly boiled.
After slag removal, the surfaces of the welds are treated with a flap disc.
Here is such a beautiful and reliable connection with the author. This method of marking is suitable for profile pipes and other sizes.
I thank the author for a simple, but very useful and beautiful way to angularly bend a profile pipe!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!
