How do I miter steel tubing of different sizes?

What I’m trying to accomplish is to miter the joint between two different sized pieces of tubing but have them maintain them as individual objects, like a coped joint in trim carpentry.

Be mindful of segment orientation when creating the initial geometry.
Regardless of whether the tubes are the same size or not, symmetrically aligned geometry will produce a cleaner intersection.

Creating a clean intersection of the identical tubes requires their corresponding geometry be perfectly aligned. The process of alignment begins the moment you draw the first circle. Be sure the Inference Tool Tip indicates the tool is on-axes before you click to complete the circle.
