Saw this on youtube this morning. Looks like a great idea and the prices aren't bad either. Here is a video on the assembly process. Looks like a great way to get your feet wet for little money.



Here is the company that offers the kit.

I guess we don't have many fabricators here.:dunno:

I would have bought one of these over building my table. These tables are square with fixture and alignment holes all over to make truing your project easy as pie.

Very nice!

I still might build one. They do custom builds, so I wonder what a 4x8 would be worth.

I don't see how this gives a comparable top to a 1/2 +

No way you can pound on this fab table like you can on plate. I see this getting beat up way faster of used as a general purpose fab table.

For me this is a fab only , non beat table. Supposed to be flat to .015. It is flat for sure once all tightened, tacked,then welded. The interior support makes it much stronger than 1/4".

I have a general purpose bfh table I am building for the rough work. I have a 5'×4'×1" plate I plan to use and install my big vise on.

It's for small fab projects and would do 99% of the project that DIY do with out beating it to death.

I hope you have a big shop. My last table was a 4x8 and it ended up collecting **** like a coffee table. My next one will be 2x3 or 2x4.
