Welding table pics ?

[AnEv942]

Ya, but its hard to keep perspective to size and how nice most of these tables are...
(or if all trees were Sequoias there'd be no giants
One of the things I want to add on my table is allowance for a turntable. The vise has spoiled me in that sense for rotating small stuff and I didnt note any. I like the spaced bar top, thought I had a plan.

 

[taumac]

Just in case some of you dont appreciate your space, or for those who dont have it. And or just for grins. This is my weld table.



14" sq 1/4" plate with a 1/4" x 4" vise bar to clamp into vise.





Originally set to just clamp in vise, where its primarily used, but some times weight overpowers vise,



So I torched some angle making legs, also added **** plate on vise clamp bar to help from slipping in vise when clamped,





Makes it very versatile, especially heavy long material thats hard to manage. Keeps from popping the brick...





Just showing off recently added torch head holder...



Actually Im close to finally building a small table, 18"x 36", but I imaging this will still be used. It is handy, though larger items hard to keep flat. Mounted on vise makes spinning around, nice when working on small stuff.

I'll built and got rid of few welding tables I've have and currently don't have one but I have been using same idea you have. It's 14 1/2 in dia3/4 round steel plate.

I welded a nut on the bottom

And I clamp it in any of my vises

It works very nice to heat, solder and weld on. It's holding me over until I get round to building another table.

Some really nice tables here. Mine is 2'x4' with 10 gauge top and hitch mount for vise and grinder. The cabinet is a refinished file cabinet where I store clamps, magnets, wire brushes, etc.. This table pales in comparison to some of the monsters in this tread, but I do not do any heavy work so it suites me just fine.

Wow, and there it is...looking at your plate and noting the vise cinch bolt. It dawned on me theres my rotating table-hokey smoke. Because my new table (around toit) will only be 18"/20" deep I was planning allowance for vertical receiver for vise etc. (to narrow to cantilever). Short some details but I could weld a round stub to short square tube to drop in receiver. Weld larger round tube or pipe to small table plate with welded nut for cinch bolt. I need to start gathering material.

Simple and good access for clamping I like it!

I use a lazy Susan bearing from a lazy boy recliner that was on the curb. Its good because I can turn it while welding small multidimensional stuff.

Here is mine: 3'x6'. Top is 1-5/8" thick on 4x4x1/4 legs. Casters are 12x4" and rated at 5,000lbs each. Figure total weigh is 1,500lbs- just heavy enough to stay put when working on stuff but pretty easy to move around. If I really don't want it to move I can lock the casters at 90 degrees and it wont budge. Top is absolutely flat lengthwise but some curve along the short axis- may try to straighten it at some point or have it blanchard ground.

Holy casters Batman, where did you find those at ?

Ebay! Bought a pair of new 12" casters from a guy back east on the bay and he asked if I had any interest in a used set of 12" casters for $25 each plus shipping to which I said yes. I jumped at the chance as I had this welding table in mind. He went through a lot of work to disassemble them so shipping would be reasonable. The casters are very heavy duty- I feel like they can handle any shock loads I can give them without problems. The size really makes moving the table quite easy once you get it moving. At the same time for most work the table sits in place well. I've locked the wheels at 90 degree angles to each other a few times and the table just doesn't move. I can set anything I want on the table- if I can get it on I'm confident it'll hold it. Really pleased with the multipurpose function of the table. Didn't want something heavy that sat in one place- the ability to move it around is great.

Good observation! Just not that one - it is the amc 360 out of my daughters jeep. My wagoneer has a 401 though .

Wow, very nice. I'd sure hate to run into the corners of that one. What size is the wilton vise in the background?

That's quite the deal and an awesome welding table. Thanks for the reply.

my small fab/weld table, just made last week, 900mm x 600mm x 10mm top

havent used it yet, im sure it will evolve .. thanks for lookin..

Just found this thread, Some great welding tables in here.

I built mine from 4"x2" C-Chanel and 4" square for the legs. The top is 1/2" plate. It measures 8'x4'.

I messed up slightly with the top. I built the frame based on the dimensions of the Aluminum sheets I'd been buying. When I came to buy the steel sheet for the top it was slightly smaller I had to add a small piece on the end.

Here's the frame going together. I built it with some neat adjustable feet I found at my local engineering supply. The feet screw down so you can level the whole thing out and then you can wind them up if you need to move the table. They work really well.

It has 6x Trailer hitch sockets around the perimeter so I can plug tools and fixtures in. I've got my shrinker stretcher and a a tube notcher mounted on fixtures to plug in and I'm working on others. A gearbox cradle is on the list as I do a bunch of work on them.

It's been great to use. Very solid and it doesn't move. The lip left around the edges by the C-Chanel is great for clamping thing to.

Cheers

Mike

Wow, very nice. I'd sure hate to run into the corners of that one. What size is the wilton vise in the background?

I thought about rounding off the corners but so far it hasn't been a problem at all- the table at 36 inches high is always in your visual field and working around it is easy. The vise in the background is a Wilton 600S.

any info on these would be great....they look like they would work perfectly for what I want. Cheers

going off the number on the caster it looks to be the following

Looks right proper mate. Congrats.

Welding tables are by far one of the greatest things to share on this site. . . . like garage ****.

Yep, that's the one.

For anyone looking for them down under, I got them from here http://castorsgalore.com.au/wpcproduct/pg-37-cg-levelling-upto-500-kg/

I'm trying to stay away from large tables because they end up largely cluttered!

Here is mine that I built after looking at this site a couple of years ago and saw one and I said " I gotta have one of those". So after looking on CL for one with no luck, I checked my local metal supplier and the 1/2" plate that I wanted was too high. I finally bit the bullet and was going to pay the price for it, and when I went there, they had a 4'x6 1/2' that was bent when the shear was cutting it. The shear broke in mid stream, so it left this bent piece of plate. The guy made me a deal on it because all I wanted was flat 3'x5' for a table. The legs are 2"x3/16" with a receiver on one end and a tool box on the other. ( An idea I stole from this site) My Eastwood plasma cutter cut the plate with no problems, and I made the table upside down. I used some scrap expanded metal for my bottom so dirt and dust wouldn''t collect as much. I still have plans to paint it and put the plasma cutter under it with hooks for cords and leads. This is perfect for what I wanted, I use it all the time.

 

[ffshu]

I'm using the table now as a support on my Camaro that I am replacing the frame rails on. Although the entire weight of the car is not on it, I know that it would hold it if I wanted it too!



Not a great pic, but it's doing it's job, plus it gives me a portable work bench while doing my work.

Aren't you guys worried about spatter or grinding dust getting these nice welding/fab tables all dirty?

 

[kazlx]

Not really.

If your interested in anything specific...tell me and I can take additional photos...

Hi Tarmstrong,
What way does the universal column attach to the frame below? Thanks.

Here is my work in progress
Table top is 41x62 5/8 thick top


The one side has built in tool box, fire extinguisher, and 4 plex outlet (not installed work in progess). The 2 short sides have wheels that jack down so I can move it around easy and the last side has an opening to pull up a chair with a shelf next to it that I plan on making a door for and adding one more 4 plex outlet



I also plan on adding a few air chuck hook ups

 

[Aussie Mike]

Nice work, I like the jack down wheels. I also like how you've set up a spot to sit at the table. It's really handy when TIG welding to be able to sit and prop yourself.

Cheers

Mike

 

[Rlastr]

Time to start the build...and I'm open for suggestions.

The layout is a 78"x38" Blanchard ground table top 1" thick. Legs are going to be 4" square tube and the framing 3" tubing. I also bought 2 1/2" tubing to add reciever hitchs for tools. One end will have a fold down cutting table made from grating stock framed with angle stock.

What am I missing? Tool box?

 

[Mpmckenzie]

Getting there!
Top plate delivered today - 1200x800x24mm.
Lifting that onto the base was interesting on my own (180Kg) - why did I sell my engine crane ??
Can crack on now with bolting it down, fixing vise (restored Swindens 4"), shelves (spare 25mm plate!!) and various hooks to tidy things out of the way.
Top was ground both sides and all edges and is square/flat to within 0.25mm over its length.
Well pleased with this. Will drill top for 19mm fixtures as needed - will see what I need.
Time to put the Nomad up for sale.
Pics when finished.
Mark

 

[cornfield customs]

here is mine, 5 ft x 10 ft ,it is made from heavy i beam, and has 1/2 inch thick plate steel on the top

 

[sberry]

Mine are scrap compared to many of these here. They are tailored with hangers and a cut/slag trap on one end but its really where they are more than what they are.

 

[koenbro]

I built a welding table around a StrongHand Tools FixturePoint top. Here is the rendering in AutoCAD Fusion360:

This is how it came out:

[AMCguy]

Here's mine and a link to my build thread. I had a lot of fun building it and creating the thread. It's inspired a few similar builds and I find images of it shared on many other sites.
