Have you ever used this technique in real life? Even if you have a facing cutter and a good size mill it would take a huge amount of time and resources. The same result could be achieved by bolting/riveting/epoxying/welding a reinforcement plate in the areas you need on some thinner wall tubing.
In general when working with square tubing it's a better use of resources to order a smaller size/wall thickness than to machine weight away from a thicker tube.
