I am wanting to cut down a 1000lb rated gantry crane to a size that will fit my Shop. This crane is made from 2" rectangular tubing. I will do the initial cutting with a Harbor Freight band saw, but I can't count on it giving true 90 degree cuts. My thoughts are to true the cut surface with my mill. I will also be cutting off the flange that will be welded back on the tubing. My thoughts were to use the mill true the surface of the flange. My questions are related to the welds that I am trimming off. Will they cause problems for the mill? Is it better to use High steel or carbide?
