The only difference between "our" tables and his -- is about 10 GRAND...

Lots of good info here!
Mine on paper is 30 inches by 60 inches. Was planning on having holes around the frame under the top to bolt things to and a vice mounted. I was thinking of a 1/8 inch thick top shimmed level and bolted to the top but from everyone's posts that seems too thin. I was also planning on having the front open so I could roll things under it when not in use. Looks like I have to go to back to the drawing table and work on table mkII.

30 inches is the max width because I have to get through a door that is 31 inches wide.

Hi Jon,

The Miller ArcStation above is also 30 x 60. Looks like I'll go with 36 x 36 or a 36 x 48 with a 3 or 4 inch overhang back to where the top support connects to the top for a clamp edge - while I'll also add a 1/2 x 13 grid of threaded holes inside the support so I can clamp Enco machine clamps as hold-downs in the grid.

1/4 top is to thin IMO. I'm going minumum 1/2.

Nothing wrong with redesign since you're still in the paper stage. That's the best time to make a change and is the reason I started looking for ideas before I chopped up a bunch of steel.
