My new TIG welding table

[camsore]

I see all the great projects all of you have done so I decided to finish my table. I put wheels on it so I can move it around the shop. The pictures do
not show that the legs are tapered.

Nice work. Like the pivot on the wheels, simple, unobtrusive and effective.

Nice, creative solution to the "mobile yet stable" problem.

Do you use a foot pedal?

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

Very clean design! I like the use of tube for the spreaders and the dogleg wheel supports. Do you have any 'in process' pics, dimensions, or a material list to share?

Do you use a foot pedal?

I thought the same thing. It looks like the spreader bar is right where the foot pedal would be.

Let up know how it works.

Looks nice, I too like the simplicity of the wheel design.

Did you taper the legs or what's that something you bought / found?

I made a fixture and sawed the 2x2 tubing at 45
I like the tubes at that height so I can use them for a foot rest. I have some hand sketches of the pivot and can give any dimensions if anyone wants them.

I really like that pivoting caster feature. Might have to do something like that myself. Thanks!

Very nice table. Could share the sketches of the pivots?

my jig table is 3/4" stainless topped steel plate rimmed with 3/8"x3"x3" angle iron.......can't have rubber wheels on it......they would immediately have flat spots
besides why would i move my table?
its right next to my welder and rod cabinet

I no longer have trouble moving my tables as I have a rough terrain fork and a skid steer. But in the old days I always put a short 5th leg in the center of the tables to use a floor jack on. A lot faster and cheaper than wheels and easier to retro fit to a existing table. Can also be offset to compensate for inbalance like a vice.

Like that wheel design...How did you mount the table, though...? Bolts...?

+10

i use my floor jack to move most of my equipment.....wtf, it steers and lifts 2 tons......my welders are on steel wheels.....no flat spots

My wheels don't go flat as I keep them up except to move. Can someone tell me how to send a PM on this sight?

To PM someone click on their username and you will see a drop down box. There is an option to send user a PM.

For moving stuff around the shop? The best money I have spent, is on my pallet jack! I can have the bridgeport, lathe, large cabinets, whatever I have at this time moved around the shop in very little time.
