[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 258865, member: 6937"] +1 If you cut both pieces at a 45, then flip the angles so that instead of making a 90 degree angle, you keep it straight. This does allow for a larger weld, and it allows for a weld to support up pressure, down pressure, and side pressure. But if you use the internal sleeve, and secure it to the outer tubing with a couple of plug welds (drill 1/2" holes on either side of the outer tubing, then start arc on the inner tubing, form a puddle, and fill up the crater), then weld your seam, whether you go with a straight cut or an angle cut, it will be plenty strong.
