Hello, this is my latest job, Customer wants 4 or 6 inches taken out of the table I will find out tomorrow which. its 2inch square tubing unknown wall thickness, I need to remove the center brace and then after shortening put it back. I welded some stainless, then put a finish using scotch bright pad seems to duplicate the finish well. ? should I put a square tube inside when I butt them up in the middle, stronger? pull some heat away from the stainless less movement? just thinking it over, start it tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for looking. Op

From what I can see, it would be impractical to back-purge this weld, so if you can fit some square tube inside, you would avoid "sugaring" the back side of the weld, and get a stronger weld. If you CAN back-purge, the extra metal from sleeving the weld won't add any real strength.
