Yes yes, machine there is. But what you have on your FEA analysis depends on mesh geometry whish are sensible to acute angles and elongated portions. Then the delta b/w true and real is aggravated. Add build and weld quality and you are expending something out of a reasonable range where cheap and safe prevails.

The result is a thicker section that would be useful only on the joint but you carry through the entire length of the pipe, often, the frame assembly and a weight increase that you pay as an extra load to carry, in material, shipping and on-site tooling...

All that for a sin(15) extra length...
