I have yet to fire up my YesWelder MIG-205DS and since I'm a total n00b and will just be practicing with fluxcore and all the sub $250 tables seem to have issues of one sort or another, was thinking about holding out for a non working steel top table saw on craigslist. Some have slots, etc. that could be used for clamps and the like.Workable idea or should I take up knitting?
Reply:It is a very workable idea. If you can find an old cast iron one, they are great. They are typically very flat, strong, and have slots or webs so you can insert a clamp.Edit: Here are some pics of saws for sale near me. They have solid top and ones with webs. Since some are cast, you have to be careful clamping too hard or finding a spot that is flat on the underside for the clamp.

Reply:I have that Craftsman iron saw for my table, mine's on casters. It works great in a small space and the work clamp can go anywhere on it. Just trying to figure out how to add a vise...Do not believe everything that you think.

Reply:Buy the 2-1/2" hitch receiver that bolts under the bumper and mount it under the table. Then buy some 2" x 3/16 sq tube to fit in it and build a vise mount to weld to it. I also made a mount for my bench grinder so it and the vise can interchange.Ol' Stonebreaker "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw

Reply:How ironic. There's a guy over on the Fine Woodworking Forum looking for a cheap table saw. Can't find one but sees a couple of welding tables on Craigslist. He's considering cutting a slot in the top and mounting a saw blade arbor and motor underneath....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk:
Reply:Our first "table saw" was a Black and Decker with a broken guard screwed to the underside of an old wooden dining table. Wired the switch on and used an on/off switch on the table leg. Worked alright except for the worn bearings in the hand saw.250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
Reply:Just what I had in mind. But in my neck of the woods they're referred to as 'vintage'. A guy want $500 for this //edit - can't seem to upload an image
Reply:Considering that one if all else fails.

Reply:Before this post finds its way to the bit bucket...Using this table purely as an example:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QYQRZN2...v_ov_lig_dp_itWhere would one find the welding fixtures like those that come with//edit This site looks reasonable:https://fireballtool.com/search.php?...ection=producthttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3JKUQE...v_ov_lig_dp_itEasy enough to find welding clamps at HF but nothing anywhere that's affordable for 16mm holes. I've looked at a Grizzly table that's in my budget but they want $115 for a swing clamp!Going to give myself another week to find a used table saw but as an example, there's one on CL for a nice 15 year old Craftsman however they want $425 which as I understand it is more than they cost new back then.In closing I really like the Strong Hands https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3JKUQE...v_ov_lig_dp_itand if I can ever sell an item I have on CL, I'll probably pull the trigger on that.Last edited by Lemarque; 01-25-2021 at 11:44 PM.

then along came a quarter inch top 3 x 5
I thought I was in heaven!!!! now most of the welding work I do is field work... and my welding tables sit at home collecting rust
but for some reason I want another one
Saw this piece of plate at my buddies yard the other day.... 4 foot by 10 foot... by 2-3/8ths
I think it'd make a great table
I just gotta try an talk him outta it
Not sure if I'd want to drill it or not though??? sometimes the holes are plenty handy...

Reply:I wish mine hadn't been left outside. The factory coating was thicker than normal, so when the peeling and pitting started, it changed the surface more than usual. It's still level from end to end with no warping, but there are going to be variations in the surface, and no it won't be getting Blanchard ground...250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
