I weld a lot of 1"x 2" tubing using butt joints in corners. I align them so that they are lying flat on their 2" side and then the 1" side is welded to the end of the other tube. I hope this makes since. I need to know the dimensions of the inside clamping area of the Mega Squares so I can choose the smallest square that will still have an adequate reference area to clamp to. I’m too old to just buy “the BIGGEST” anymore. 🫤 My original Monster Square (Cast iron), as great as it is, has been getting a bit heavy lately. 😢 ---

Thank Jason for the quick reply. In the picture are the dimensions I needed. I’m looking for outside corner support. ![Mega square 8 inch](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fireball/original/2X/1/12ff8db8b061c06207e5a1ade6e9416e16d3b019.jpeg)
