Welding table picture thread

admin

Ok, I'm getting ready to build a 4x8 table and surfing through the various table builds using the forum search function kinda sucks.  I'm guessing there are a lot of guys in the same boat... So.... lets have a welding table pic thread! No step by step builds necessary, just show off the final product you have come up with.  If you have a build thread somewhere on the forum, post up a link with your pic.  Lets see whats out there...Miller Dynasty 200DXMiller 252 Miller 250xMiller Syncrowave 250Miller AEAD200 LegendMiller 375 Xtreme plasmaLincoln WeldPak 100Victor O/A
Reply:I'm in the same boat, just not as big. I like the idea of one condensed thread as it seams everyone is starting single threads for the same project with a different twist. I have no pics but mine is going to be 3'x4' with a slat top out of 4"x.625" flat bar as my metal supplier has about 20 cutoffs he I'd giving my a deal on as he has little use for the in 3' lengths.Airco Heliweld II AC/DC HomeMade Wire FeederLincoln 255PLincoln HD130Everlast PP804x8 CNC TableWelding helps me build my hobbies and takes up time on the side.
Reply:this bench has been going strong for 25+ years. it started as a medium duty work table and i added a 2x2 & 4" tubing frame to the top to support a 5/8" plate. used more 2x2 to re-enforce the legs. it's pinned to the floor. Attached Imagesi.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla
Reply:Here are a couple of pics of the ones we have in the school shop.  We put receiver hitches on all of the tables so the tools are moveable. Attached Images
Reply:still haven't bought the top I want for it. I placed the bottom channels closer together for a chair to tig weld. Attached Images

Reply:Here is my artistic table with receiver pockets all the way around. And I made a way of moving as you see down below with the wheels.And another vise I added to it.Last edited by OUTBACK FORGE; 03-27-2014 at 12:05 AM.GalenMiller TrailBlazer 302 EFIThermal Dynamics 252i w/WeldCraft WP 9F tig torch and foot controlThermal Dynamics Pak 52Millermatic 250 w/Spoolmate 30aLincoln SA-200 gas driven welder from grandfatherBlacksmith shop
Reply:All these wimpy topped tables. Mine's 1 1/2" thick  3' x 12'. I need to attach the receiver on the far end one day.  It's certainly solid when you need to work on things in the vise, and a wonderful thing to beat things on.Last edited by DSW; 03-28-2014 at 08:02 AM.Reason: Eddited to add laugh smiley.No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:This is going to be a great thread.   Artistic is Outback forge.   And what DSW has, I'd definitely call that a table and vise

Reply:DSW, one thick table and vise. I would move that inside to the kitchen.    Too nice to be outside.

Reply:DSWA word of advice. If you wake up at night, look out the window, and a couple guys are carrying that table off ? Put the gun down and go back to bed. Bubble gumTooth pixDuct tapeBlack glueGBMF hammerScrew gun --bad battery (see above)

Reply:The red legged one was given to me from Walker.  I added a 1/4" top (had an 1/8" originally), put expanded metal under the top for a shelf.  Works pretty good.And this one is my little portable one.  With the new move, I lost my 3 car garage.  In AZ a person needs to keep the vehicles inside, so no big welding table for me.  (No mill or lathe either )MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build

Reply:My welding table isn't much to talk about. When I retired and had my shop built. I built my welding table, and burning table out of scrap that was laying around. All except the welding table top. A buddy of mine was running a job locally, I called him up and said hey next time you're in the yard grab a plate 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Not wanting to drive to the big city to the yard he just ran down to the steel supplier and bought me one, and brought it to me.

Reply:my first welding table was wood topped. used that for years and years. splatter didn't stick. eventually threw a piece of aluminum on there. felt like a ballersecond table was alittle better, especially after getting the top resurfaced. This worked very well for a few years and it def made me $ & improved the quality of my work. Still wasn't super fast to setup jobs one to the next. splatter didnt stick.my current table. Can't imagine every owning anything else for the duration of my career. I barely use my tape measure anymore. sh$t fits and it is square. splatter does not stick.

Reply:The Acorn/Weldsale + all the generic platens will vary from 1.5, 1.75 or 2" square holes. Demmeler and Siegmund fixture tables are 28mm holes. I dont know about the Stronghand Buildpro tables.
Reply:One question please:have you had the table top CNC machined?or you drilled it yourself.?

Reply:Lots of good ideas there Duker. I've seen the extension at the far end a few times on tables guys have built, and I've also seen the step down for the chopsaw. Both really nice ideas for a table. My big table had outlets on it at one point. They are also quite useful.I haven't seen the air tool hookup before though. I like that and the short hoses for bench work. I've used plenty of splitters, but this is the 1st one I've seen built into the table..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
