An alternate solution-
Every time I have seen or worked with swedged tubing on a beam, the swedged
portion has reduced the diameter by 2 sizes, for example 1” down to 3/4” o.d.
You can accomplish the same result by using a short sleeve of the intermediate
sized tubing at the joint, in the above example, 7/8” o.d. (Assuming all the
tubing sections are .058 wall). I am just guessing here, but this could save
you some $ based upon price quotes I have seen from M2.
