  • Two trips to my local steel shop.First i picked up the 3/16 steel plate for $40. The second trip i picked up all the angle pieces. I added the wheels from Amazon.$ 6.99 for all four. I still need to sand it down and give it a coat of paint.

      The metal yard I've been using charged me $190 for a 4x8 sheet of 3/16, and usually buying the larger cuts is more expensive by the foot than buying a whole sheet. The cut-off bin of smaller pieces is reasonable at ~ 40 cents/lb for steel.

    Angle is okay in bending but is like cheese in torsion. So the good news is it will never rock across two diagonal legs ... but the bad news is you will have to be super careful to get it level along all four edges each time you move it, or it will just mimic on the surface of the table any twist in the concrete floor it is standing on.
    Diagonal bracing joining the corners of the perimeter frame around the top will fix it though....

    This might be a dumb question, but what is drop steel? Google says it's a type of forging process, is there a different definition?

    • @scantronsgarage
      @scantronsgarage  4 роки тому

      big steel suppliers only distribute large pieces of stock. Fabrication companies buy this large material and cut it to their specifications. The remnants "DROP" to the floor and is either discarded or sold back to metal recyclers.. So if you go in and ask for drop steel this refers to their trimmed down remnants
