Can anyone point me to a table with the standard radius for corners for
different steel forms?
I want to place 2x4 tubing inside either a 3" or 4" angle iron and don't
know if the inside radius of the angle iron will allow the 2x4" tubing to
set 'flat' on both legs of the angle iron.

Hey TT,

Varies by producer, and not only that, on "most" standard angle, the
"legs" are tapered and not of constant thickness, so it won't form a
90 degree "inside" corner.

Take care.

Yep. And even the outsides aren't 90 deg. At least on the aluminium
I've used, some 3 x 3 x 1/4.
