devil4u2c Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 what is this "welding table" you speak of? lol j/k That looks like it would be quite nice. When I went to welding school, the best thing about the tables there, was they used really thick steel tops. It kept em sturdy and also didn't have to worry too much about the tops being warped from heat. I think they were 1/2" plate tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomabanga1986 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 my welding table is like 6ft by 8ft i think, but i gotta hit it with a grinder as my welder dont like the rust thats on it, its a miller dual voltage mig welder, works on 110-220 but it works good, the ones i used when i took welding at collage were a little more beefy than this one but it works the one i liked was 480v and i could weld sheet metal with it lol but my welding table is like 1/4'' thick i think but wieghs like 800lbs lol, its a bitch to move so i leave it outside ima prolly go over there n practice my brazing skills a little bit and might take a few pics of the shop and what knot, not all tools are in it yet tho, still got to move a few things but ya that table will be good, are u gunna be stick welding or mig, or flux core welding cause depending on ur welding u wont need the trash collection thing unless its a flux core or a stick, but that will work fine if ur gunna make it high make it a little wide also so it wont be to top heavy and u'll be good but good sketchup skills on the table, i like it i need to learn how to use the metal lathe so i can machine my own stuff, i wanna make my own dist blocks but dunno how yet here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhoh_45 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 my welding table is like 6ft by 8ft i think, but i gotta hit it with a grinder as my welder dont like the rust thats on it, its a miller dual voltage mig welder, works on 110-220 6x8 is to big for my liking haha but my welding table is like 1/4'' thick i think but wieghs like 800lbs lol, its a bitch to move so i leave it outside i plan on using casters with a 2000 lbs rating each so i can wheel it anywhere ima prolly go over there n practice my brazing skills a little bit and might take a few pics of the shop and what knot, not all tools are in it yet tho, still got to move a few things yeah i been wanting to learn how to braze i was wanting to braze aluminum the other day but didnt have any oxygen but ya that table will be good, are u gunna be stick welding or mig, or flux core welding cause depending on ur welding u wont need the trash collection thing unless its a flux core or a stick, but that will work fine i'll be using my lincoln mig 140 welder and decided to go another rout after talking to my brother bout the table (hes a journeyman welder/ b pressure) if ur gunna make it high make it a little wide also so it wont be to top heavy and u'll be good i figured i would make the table 48 x 48 x 36" tall final height with casters on so im hoping its not to top heavy but good sketchup skills on the table, i like it heres new plan 2x2x1/8" square tube you like my sketchups check out this bike i made haha i need to learn how to use the metal lathe so i can machine my own stuff, i wanna make my own dist blocks but dunno how yet ah yeah the lathes not bad takes some practice but not to hard to use R.I.P!
