how would you lads keep things as square as possible without clamping to a table, using jigs etc.
the frames i make dont have to be perfect but i want to get them as good as possible.
they wont fit on my welding table as there far too big(4meters). i am having trouble with the uprights. http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/album.php?albumid=863&pictureid=1812. that one is 2940x 750x 1000high. i normally make the top up first and use a 800mmx600mm square to get them as square as possible. tack up and check. then fully weld. flip it over and use that as a template for the base. then i take the now finished base off and start tacking up the uprights. i do all 4 corners then place the base on top and tack it. get it all as square sa possible then fully weld. then add the centres then add the supports then the cross membersafter all that there about 2-3mm out at the top from verticle.
ive seen them out to 10mm from our supplier who usually makes them. we've had to buy 14 fraqmes in as weve just got 3 rather large contracts about £5million over the next 3 years. i wont be doing any frames for a while as i am needed in the plastic fabbing department.
how would you guys tackle these frames.
i do them on the floor, with a square and thats it. no tabl;e clamps jigs etc.
