Hello everyone,
I just got my first welder last week, its a Millermatic 211 autoset mig welder. I have purchased a 155 CF cylinder with 75A 25CO2 gas. I had never welded before and have been watching as many videos as possible and browsing the forums to get ideas.
Im trying to build a welding table, I have limited resources/funds (college student) so its kinda being pieced together. It's not as elaborate and definitely not as heavy duty as many of you guy's tables but space is limited in my situation.
I'll upload what i've done so far and a very crude drawing of what i planned on. If any of you could add some input, it would be appreciated.
I have 4 of the 7 in wheels (52 lbs load per) that i plan on using, i realize it wont turn like a (castor) would but i will have to wheel this thing out into the gravel each time i use it (thought the tires would work better). I'm hoping to frame the two shelves (bottom and middle pics) to the top piece (top pic) using the 1 1/4 in square tubing.
I currently have 20' of 1 1/4 inch square tubing and 20' of 1x1" square tubing.
Any recommendations on how i should piece these three pieces together with the materials at hand? Also, i would like to mount a receiver hitch for the vise like many of you have done, how would you go about mounting that?
The crude drawing (hopefully attached) has all the dimensions of my shelves. I realize the horizontal lengths arent all exactly the same, apparently i screwed up when i welded them together
Thanks for any help you can offer
After previewing my post, my drawing (weldtabledrawing) file is in incredibly small font, cant seem to fix it. Sorry. You might still be able to see what i'm getting at.
The top shelf is 60 x 30.5 of 1/4 in steel.
Middle shelf is 60 x 22 of 1/4 in stainless.
Bottom shelf is 60 x 26 of 1/2 in stainless.
I didn't pick the odd ball sizes, that's what they came in from the recycling yard. I'm just trying to make them work.
