Cutting some 2 1/2" square tubing into 4 inch pieces today and I found
that the weld bead inside the tubing prevents it from being a slip fit over
the two inch tubing. My pieces are only four inches long so access isn't
really an issue. Does anyone have ideas better than a die grinder for
taking this bead off?

I made and used a broach on 1/2" tubing where access was a problem. Mine were
also short pieces, well within the capacity of my hydraulic press.
