FAQ

  • How to join aluminium box sections?

    You can join aluminium box sections by welding them, usually using TIG welding. It is also possible (and much easier) to use plastic tube connectors, which work by simply inserting into the ends of aluminium square tube or other box sections to create frames or longer lengths.

  • How to bend aluminium box sections?

    It is possible to bend aluminium box section, although you may be limited on your bending radius if you want to avoid cracking or other damage. Depending on the size and thickness of your aluminium square tubing, it is possible to bend using a vice and hand tools, or may require more specialist machinery.

  • How to cut aluminium box sections?

    You can cut aluminium box sections using a mitre saw or bandsaw, as long as you have an appropriate blade and have cleaned and prepared the metal surface. It is possible to cut aluminium box tubing with a hacksaw, though this may not have as clean a finish. It is always important to use a clamp or vice to hold your box section securely.

  • How to weld aluminium box sections?

    Welding aluminium box sections is the same as welding any other types of aluminium product. The method that you use (MIG, TIG, Arc) will depend on the size and thickness of your box profile product, and your desired finish and application.
