In summary, the conversation discusses the need for a training equipment that can be easily assembled and disassembled. While using bolts is one option, the speaker is looking for a quicker option where the base can be slid into the foot. This would make packaging more economical and compact. The dimensions of the foot and leg are also mentioned. One suggestion is to use hairpin cotter pins or drill a hole through both pieces and use a pin for assembly.

I am looking to make a training equipment where the legs and the bases could be assembled and disassembled easily

Using bolts is one option, but I am looking for a quicker option where the user just slides the base into the foot and start using the equipment.

having the foot and base apart will make the packaging of the equipment more economic and compact.

The foot is about 12" wide and the leg is about 10" high

Thank you for any suggestion

There is nowhere near enough information to make a decent/useful comment unfortunately. It may be ok to just slide it in, it may not.

What's the application, what is the 'equipment'? Does it move when in operation? What does the leg and foot look like? etc.

Could put a pipe on the foot that is of a smaller diameter to allow it to slot inside the leg? Drill a hole through both pieces and then put a pin through.
 

1. How can a base/foot be joined to a leg without welding?

There are several alternative methods for joining a base/foot to a leg without welding. Some options include using mechanical fasteners such as screws, bolts, or rivets, using adhesives or epoxies, or using heat-based techniques such as soldering or brazing.

2. What are the advantages of joining without welding?

Joining without welding can often be a faster and more cost-effective method compared to traditional welding. It also eliminates the need for specialized welding equipment and can be a cleaner and more precise process.

3. Are there any disadvantages to not using welding for joining?

While joining without welding has many benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. Some methods may not be as strong or durable as welding, and certain materials may not be compatible with certain joining techniques.

4. How do I determine the best method for joining a base/foot to a leg without welding?

The best joining method will depend on several factors such as the materials being used, the desired strength and durability, and the specific application. It is important to carefully consider all options and consult with a professional if needed.

5. Can joining without welding be used for all types of bases/feet and legs?

While joining without welding can be used for many different types of bases/feet and legs, it may not be suitable for all applications. It is important to evaluate the specific needs and requirements of the project before deciding on a joining method.
