    Welding Table with Pneumatic Casters

    Glad you like the table extensions and plasma grate! I left an unpainted spot on the shelf where the plasma cutter sits so I just connect the plasma ground there and leave it connected. The plasma torch fits perfectly in the mig torch pipe holders too so that's pretty handy. So far I've just...

    Using wheeled trailer jack on a heavy fabrication table?

    I posted a thread a few days ago with my solution to the mobile table issue. I used pneumatic cylinders to lift it. Check it out and see if something like this might work for your table. Any questions just post a comment on my thread and I'd be happy to help...

    Welding Table with Pneumatic Casters

    Thanks again for the comments and suggestions! I originally installed a small regulator / gauge to be able to slowly increase the pressure for more control over the lift / lower. I was afraid the table would "slam" down when the air was unpugged. However, the travel is only 1" and the small...

I welded on a piece of 3/4" thick plate to the ends of the rails so that the top of the slide plate matches...

    Welding Table with Pneumatic Casters

    Thanks for all the comments! I got the cylinders off Ebay and paid about $25 each so $100 total for the set. There are LOTS of different cylinders on the Bay in many different configurations (throw lengths, internal vs. external thread on the piston, etc). Many of these would work if you just...

    Welding Table with Pneumatic Casters

    Hello there. I’ve been a lurker for over a year and have “stolen” or adapted many project and design ideas from other members along the way. I never really felt like I had much new to contribute, until now, maybe…. I just finished my welding table. The table is 36 x 66 with ½” plate top...
