I don't know but is it just me or does the person welding look really small in comparison to the helmet

"This Strong Hand Tools offer includes a welding table and clamps. The 30in.W x 20in.L tabletop includes three 1.1in. slots that allow clamps to be inserted at any point. Table can be set up horizontally or at a 30° angle and adjusts from 26–32in."

I've been thinking of getting one too (good for us guys with limited space).
I thought they were $129 a few days ago? Inflation, I guess.

What is your primary use for this going to be? using it for traveling around or mostly in your own shop?

It is a very light duty construction. I have used one and it works pretty good for a mobile work surface for smaller things but if you are thinking about this for a full time welding bench you would be beter off building something that is a bit more durable.

So the fair thing to say is it works as advertised but I personaly like something a bit more durable.

I think for the money you could build something much more useful. The design does not look very rigid and with that thin top any amount of heat is going to cause it to warp. Looks like people have experienced that in the reviews.

Some of the purists may frown upon it. My welding table is an old cast iron table saw. I paid $20 for it and it is dead flat, measures 27*40". Best of all, spatter does not stick to cast iron. Now you can't wail on your work piece with a hammer, but other than that it is great.

If you don't have the floor space for a permanent table, fold up is the way to go. I've looked at these a couple of times, but the shipping kills it for me. I prefer the Miller for a few bucks more.

It's also got a larger and thicker top along with a 500# load capacity.

I considered one, but the top is only 14 gauge sheet metal.

I built my own with a 1/4" thick top...

Stephenw, that is a NICE table!!! ^^^^^

More pictures please. Thanks.

StephenW GREAT DESIGN

That is what a portable welding table should be: thick top, supported at 4 points, minimal cut outs to clamp work piece without sacrificing rigidity of surface.

If any Canadians are interested in a Nomad welding table, KMS Tools has them on sale for $129.95 (reg. $159.99). If you order one on Feb 14 to 16 it's only $119.95. I have found KMS to be a good company to deal with.

Can you provide more details/spec/material list for the table you built? I am looking to get a table and would consider building one like yours.

Also how do you guys stop rust on these all metal tables? What sort of treatment is compatible with the welding activity?

thanks for posting this, my wife gave me her debit card to go get my V day gift and this table was in mind along with some clamps, i think ill stick to just the L clamps though.

True.

Kind of like the "hand models" that McDonalds used for their new wrap ads. Makes that wrap look huge!

They have a video link now.
