Anyone make a welding table that will "nest" in over your welder?

admin

I have a small garage and looking to make a table in the near future that will roll right over top my Syncro 200 for storage.  (Very similar to pushing a chair in and under a table/desk.)  This would mean obviously that one "end" would have to be open so that it would not hit the welder when "nesting" the two.  I envision a small table, maybe 3x4ft.  If you made one like this, can you post a pic or point me to a thread?  Thanks!KRS

Reply:I'm assuming you want your welder to be movable about your garage so why not just build a cart that can roll under said table? If not then build a table with a shelf for your welder and have casters on the table.

Reply:I made a table at work with the same idea in mind. Instead of using horizontal cross members, I just used large gussets to support the legs all the way around.  That table doesn't get moved though.  I will try to take pics later.

Reply:No. I think nesting my PrecisionTig 275 would be really tough.
