I absolutely love my cast iron platen table. When funds allow, I will be buying a nice, shiny new Weldsale platen to compliment my Acorn.
Once you use a cast iron platen table, you won't want to use anything else.
I do wish Buildpro made their big fancy table in US sizes. I won't buy any metric fixture equipment. That throws the Seigmund out too. I wouldn't mind a regular Buildpro, but for the money, I might as well go a bit more and get the Weldsale that will interchange tooling with my current Acorn.
I'm kind of curious why he didn't test a Bluco? I suspect he only tested tables that he could get from the company on a trial basis and Bluco probably didn't want to participate.
