New Welding Table

[rwhite692]

I wanted a welding / fab table that was at a better working height (40 inches) and that I could easily wheel outside to the driveway area for projects, and I decided to build one that would integrate a copy of the Miller ArcStation concept and clamps.

I found a piece of 1/2" plate 45 x 62 inches locally on the cheap (380 pounds!) and had a local water jet guy fab the slots and the clamp bases for me, as per my .DXF drawings. I had a buddy at work do them for me, from my sketches.

They also cut the outline on the water jet to 44x60 and I put a radius on the corners.

I fabbed the frame from some some scrap 3x3 .120 wall and scored a set of Cornwell 500LB casters on ebay. Might add some shelving underneath, haven't decided yet.

It will be disappointing to some folks that I didn't take the time to TIG the whole thing, no thanks...just the caster plates...Well, anyway here are some pics.

Great job that thing looks awesome! I love tables with the slots or even threaded holes as it makes it far more useable, you can actually clamp a part down in the middle of the table which is where you usually end up needing one.

Great idea to make your own I may have to look into doing something like this at work
