Reply:i beam tends to have twists
Reply:Its probably fine but I would slap some 1/8 plate on the 4 "corners" to box in the beam where the legs are. Just looks funny either that or maybe weld some tube in at the bottom to keep the legs from wanting to do a split.
Reply:Originally Posted by AKwatermanI used what is called a rescue blade. It is a diamond coated abrasive blade that fire departments use in their rescue saws. It took about 3 minutes a cut and I didn't have to flip it at all. I choose to cut it with 2 verticals and 1 flat thinking it would be fastest.18 cuts in all and the blade still looks untouched.

Reply:With all that material you should have built a "heavy duty" table.  JK. Looks good.
Reply:I like the built in storage shelf for the grinder, etc. Looks like a neat design.

Reply:I'm curious how you like it after using it a bit. Looks very nice.
Reply:Originally Posted by MondoI - beam?   Or is that wide flange or H column?I beams have a sloped flange that are difficult to clamp to.  Most common clamps (C-clamps and such)  tend to loosen and slide off.  Wide flange or H column have a flange with parallel surfaces which are easy to clamp to.- Mondo
