Step 9Miter the tubes to fit together for brazing/welding
Mitering fits the end of one tube with the side of another, to make brazing strong and easy. Miter with half round file or hole saw that makes a 3/4" miter. File the tube end until there is a good fit between the miter and another piece of tubing.
Note: make sure the miters go the right direction and are in parallel or perpendicular planes to the rest of the tube. Each miter should only take about a minute. If it takes longer, use stronger strokes (pushing forward only). To determine which direction to miter, refer to the image of the assembled cart, or below.
*Miter the wheel wells, cutting parallel to the bottom of the "U".
*Miter the ribs cutting perpendicular to the tube (opposite from wheel wells).
*Miter the ends of the spine, cutting perpendicular to the tube.
*Miter one end of the arm brace. The other end will be cut straight at an angle later.
*Miter the handle, cutting parallel to the bottom of the "U".
