I came into this like "this guy is going to be using stuff he got for free. What life hack could he had possibly found." The second you cut to the table saw it clicked for me, f-ing genius man!
Exactly what Jeremy said!!!
@@kevinstephens1109 I actually have an update to this, there were a bunch of these tables within an hour of me that are for sale. I just picked one up last night about 20 minutes away for $60 that has the extension on both sides and came with an extra

Omfg. BRILLIANT!! thanks bud! I just found an identical one on Craigslist for $20. On my way now to get it
Nice tag me on instagram when you're done with it. I'm loving seeing what people are doing with them 😎
You sir are a genius. Great idea!
Ingenious! I'm not going to lie, the instant I saw that you were going to cannibalize a cast iron topped table saw, I got a bit grumpy but you've won me over with your ingenuity and the willingness to use all of the parts and not just scavenge the top.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
I love it! My friends all laughed at me when I told them that I use an old Craftsman cast iron table saw for a welding table, and I have emailed them links to your video. To my friends, "In your face!"
Your clamping ideas are good, I'm going to try them.
I Love this kind of stuff. So many people just buy new stuff and pass over on something super functional and cost effective. This is perfect.
Thanks for the support 😎👊
Just snagged this exact table saw off FB marketplace for $40 because the switch doesnt work anymore. Thank you brother! Easy Sub.
Awesome
I used to have a welding table I built from a table saw top, it worked great. I love the idea of building a belt sander with some of the left over parts.
Love the geeking out over moving parts and the creativity about re-purposing!!!!
Impressive! Resourceful, innovative, young man. Rare these days. Gonna keep checking back.
Absolutely the best I’ve seen for a small shop…….Brilliant!!!!
I got exactly the same saw table and have used it for over a year. I just added the Harbor Freight table on top of half of it for the clamp hardware. Served me very well. Cost $80 for the saw.
I chuckled when I saw the saw! I have been using my Craftsman table saw top (identical to this one) as a flat welding table for years. I didn’t take it off the stand but reinforced that to keep it more ridged. Yes you do have to keep it clean or you have some small barbecues! I would like to see a belt sander made too.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
That's a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!
man this is great - honestly this will work for 80% of people who need to weld and at legitimately .5% of the cost of some of those fixture tables that are being sold, I think that's fine.
This suits my 3 R’s: recycle, repurpose and reuse. This is a fairly simple approach. Thanks for sharing
Genius!!! I’m keeping my eyes open for one for myself now. Thanks for the great idea, love your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great idea!! I have that same table saw sitting in my patio that was a freebie from CL and now it will be my free welding table. Thanks for the idea and video.
Thank you for watching 🙏👊😎
Awesomesauce, Great idea , see them on marketplace all the time.
Love seeing the younger generations being frugal and repurposing old stuff. Just saved me about $1000. Keep posting and i would love to see the belt sander.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
hmmm, $30? I guess we aren't including the materials? I was wondering how you'd secure a top alone, for less than $30 in materials by itself. Thanks for the vid, wish I had a free tablesaw top laying around here.
I paid $30 for the entire saw
I'm teaching myself to weld on a budget. I've been trying to come up with ideas for weeks for a table. This is awesome! Thx!
Thank you for sharing this great idea. I too have a Craftsman table saw from the late 80's that needs to continue buying its footprint in the garage. It will never be a cabinet quality tool so doubling as a welding setup table is perfect.
Wow, I agree with many others below, what a GREAT idea and wait there's more, it's very affordable and expandable. There's always a ton of these around cheap or free. Great video, thanks so much.
Best videos on UA-cam. You are the Man Keep up the Great work
I am very impressed. Very creative. A simple solution for a very useful table
Thanks and thank you for watching 😎
Brilliant idea. I picked one up and used it. Look forward to future videos or go through the ones you have already made.
Dude this is one of the best diy thoughts I've seen as well as the belt sander/lathe idea from left over parts ! Thank you
I have a whole playlist on this table build. We do clamps, magnetic vise, and build a belt sander. And I think there's a couple more videos to come because I still have parts left over 😎 Thanks for watching supporting channel.
My dad has that same table saw in his garage that he hasn't used in years. Might have to see if he wants to get rid of it now that looks like a fun & practical project
This is an old video now, but I wanted to message and say that I found one of these table saws for free on craiglist, so I basically got a free welding table! Thank you very much for sharing such a great idea.
Thank you for watching. Appreciate your support
Everytime I see a 113 disassembled, I feel like the best time of America is over.
Love this idea. I've been looking at the pro ones and they start around $1000. I just love to tinker and will be doing things around the homestead. Also being a knife maker, the idea of making a belt grinder is appealing so I am going to start keeping my eyes open for a old table saw.
Ideas for improvements: Use wing nuts on your stops for ease of use and maybe epoxy the bolt on the inside so it's 'captive'. Add a set of wheels on one end and either removable legs or have them shaped like "H" and have them fold toward each other but one nest inside the other and be able to use the wheels to cart it like a wheelbarrow. That would allow you to roll it around alone and probably get the non-wheeled end up onto the tailgate to then pull it into the bed of a pickup.
Thanks for the inspiration, just came across your channel a few weeks ago and was looking for a decent weld table, I just picked up mine this morning for $40!
That's awesome 😎👍
Genius,absolutely Genius, I will have to try and make one to install in my new shop, what a great economical way to make a flat welding table, thanks from Nova Scotia 🏁
Thanks for watching 👊😎🙏
Absolutely build a belt sander. I have an old table saw and need a welding fab table. I could also use a belt sander! Awesome stuff!
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
I bought an 8’x5’ welding table with schedule 80 frame and it’s too big for my shop. So I have a welding table in my driveway outside the barn…which is kind of handy when I’m working on our heavy equipment…all for 130 on craigslist! Great Idea…many of us have one of these laying around! And you get to use the electric motor for something else! You can also use the elevation and tilt mechanisms for special weld positioners.
I did this with and old saw years ago and worked great. I found the cast iron shed spatter better than most new tables. I was planning to make almost same video in the future. I will see what I can do differently. Great video. Subbed.
Look forward to it 😎
Yes, build the belt sander with thouse parts, good pick
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
What an amazing idea !!😮
Thanks so much !!
That's for watching 😎👊👍
I'd be interested in seeing your take on a belt sander. Good luck and thanks for the content.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
That’s a great idea. Thanks for the video.
Good idea and good enough for me. Looking for a table now. Thanks
Outstanding...Well done.
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed....
This is a great idea i just found so many of these on offer up thank you such a cheap weding table
Thanks for this idea. I happen to own an old Craftsman table saw just like yours so a welding table it will be.
Great video Alex! That’s too funny you mentioned making the belt sander with the leftover stuff because that was my exact thought when I first saw it all on. The table. I’ve been thinking about making one for the past couple months just trying to figure out the easiest and best way to make it happen. Definitely some good parts there to get started!
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
Outstanding table and I will start my search for one of these old saws and thanks~!
Love the idea. trying to think of a way to setup different fixtures repeatedly (i.e. install setup 1, remove and install setup 2, remove install setup 3, then go back to setup 1 accurately)
Great idea! Do you ground yourself to the cast iron table itself, and if so, does this create any issues for you since cast iron does not conduct as well as mild steel? Also, what do you think about combing 2-3 of these together to create a much larger table? And lastly, are you welding onto the cast iron?
I have not had any trouble with grounding. I have definitely thought about connecting multiple together to make a larger table. I did not weld to the cast iron to mount the legs. I bolted some flat bar to the threaded holes on the bottom of the casting and welded to the flat bar. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support 💪😎👊
I just bought the exact same one for 100 bucks. Love it.
That's awesome message me on Instagram when you get it set up I would love to see how you set it up 😎
I’m so glad to see a young man thinking outside of the box these days. Good work!
Brilliant! Im going to get one before this catches on. And subscribing!
Thanks for the support 😎🙏👊
Good ideas as usual. Excellent use of old materials. Keep that up, and your shop's gonna be full. Lol.
Picked up my third free saw total area is 11' x 27" lines up and 352 pounds mix of solid deck and grid.
I'm thinking solid as the "main table" surfaces and grids can quick connect for reconfigurations as needed.
One of the three motors has a wire wheel on the shaft and had sketchy wiring via extension cord to glass fuses in a breaker box.
I may have saved a life getting that apart.
That's awesome DM me a photo on Instagram and I will share it 😎
Great idea. Repurposing items like that takes true imagination.
Genius.
Can't wait to see the belt sander. Subscribed!

Awesome video, just started to learn how to weld so interested to see where this goes. Off to watch more of your videos!
Please keep this series going, and please start the Alexander series. Would love to see both.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
I just made one of these! Thanks for the awesome Idea!
Awesome 😎
You could probably drill holes to make a grid for the middle piece
In the works 😎
Super cool idea! I'm headed to CL to find a table! YOU THE MAN
Thanks for watching 😎
I like your idea repurposing the cast iron table saw top. Then recognizing the potential of the remaining parts to be used in the belt sander project. A nice 1hp 1ph 110v 60hz 1750rpm electric motor is very useful, and new they're over a hundred bucks.
Thanks for watching. Here's the belt sander video.

Killer idea young man. God bless. Love from Philly.
Great project...the table saw to welding fixture table...I subscribed with a thumbs up...Thanks
Thanks for watching. Make sure to check out the playlist. There's a complete series on this build 😎
Thanks!
Holy crap, that shaft bearing is in damn good shape
Hola amigo great idea I like that welding table thanks for sharing this video saludos desde COLTON CA
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Cool idea, I’m going to try this. I’m new to welding and have been looking for ideas of a mobile work area that won’t break the bank. Belt sander idea is cool too. Looking forward to the next video.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
Excellent idea and if you connect a few of them you could have a huge table
I did the same with an old ‘50s one I got for free last year. It works great!
That really has me thinking. Looking for one soon.
That is so smart. Im going to start looking for those
For the stop block nuts I would use wing nuts for time saving purposes but I do like where you're going with this he's a good work up
Great vid! Thanks for the ideas
Mhmmm, this was very informative... Cheers! More please~!
Thanks for watching 😎👊🙏
Great idea, just subbed, can't wait to see more of your vids.
Great idea, got a sub! Keep it up
great idea, these are good and flat.
A lot of welding tables have a grid of holes like your one. It reminds me of an mft top used in woodworking. If i were to get a sheet of metal and drill the same holes and slapped it on top of my mft, that would work as a welding table in a budget, right? Particularly as i could reuse my mft clamps and dogs. Thoughts?
My main concern would be fire hazard . With wood underneath
I’m wondering if the table saw with the electronics would be a sufficient welding table with the same stand? Not sure if there would be stability or grounding issues?
Should be fine the biggest concern would be cleaning the sawdust out so it's not a fire hazard.
Great idea and I hope you use the other components of the table saw to make more projects.
ua-cam.com/video/T6nECgRL6Lg/v-deo.html
I must admit; this is one incredibly smart idea I wished I thought of for a welding table. KUDOS!!! I'm now on FBM searching! LOL.
Sure, you're not 😎 lol . Thanks for watching
I have been looking for my first welding table, and aside from the cheap folding HF one, I was looking at ~$230 on the low end for one.
Saw this video, popped up marketplace, and there's one of these for sale right by work for $50. We will see if I can make that happen instead. Thanks for the awesome idea.
Thanks for the support make sure to check out the playlist shows how we build it out and all the accessories we make for it thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel. 🙏😎👊

I honestly watched this expecting to see some of the same idiotic hacks that are rampant on UA-cam. Instead, I was treated to a very clever idea. For someone who is just getting their feet wet with welding, or when space is limited, this is a sound and reasonable way to make a welding deck on a budget. Nicely done!
Thanks for watching 🙏😎👊 I appreciate the feedback.
I like the thought behind this there's 3 or 4 local to me I might pick 1 up this weekend
Very clever. I will be looking for one at my local landfill. Free is in my budget.
I was wondering if you can clamp your ground rite to table top in order to use as a tig welding top? Is it a solid ground? Thanks in advance
That should be sufficient as long as you have a solid connection
Because of this video, I now have a small fab table for my small shop
That's awesome 😎 thanks for watching
Just picked up one identical to yours for $30. It's in great shape. I found it after missing out on one that sold for $50.
Nice...
Awesome repurpose. People sometimes do not know what they throw away or get rid off. The older equipment is much better then newer ones, more solid. I've come across a lot of good stuff I have repurposed in so many ways, so this video is right up my alley. But this is an awesome way to make a welding table. I just started welding and came across this video. You grabbed my attention by the build under $30 title, I thought you were going to use some thick ply and cover it with a sheet metal, even doing that can be expensive when you purchase raw materials.
Not sure if the old stuff is necessarily better. I'll definitely vouch that it's heavier. Usually a plus. Found my last cast top saw at the garbage transfer station. That'll make four as now, highest $= $30. Router table, designated tenon cutter for log rails/furniture.
Could have left the saw as it was and put a sanding disk on it for grinding and the fence could be used for welding setups as well
Yeah you should make a belt sander that's a no brainer man
Cool video thanks

After watching this video today I bought two Craftsman cast iron tablesaws. This idea is awesome.
Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
That's awesome thanks for watching thanks for the support 🙏👊😎

@@amcustomfab Nice, I put this one on our list. Let me know if you want a free premium forum membership, and you can post your videos on our forum whenever you want. We have many YTers doing the same.
If you made a disc sander then you could use the saw tilt for the sanding disc and keep your work table level, plus with the screw adjustment your angle setting would be accurate and easily repeatable☺.
Thought about using my old table saw today and google diy welding table and you sold me
great idea my man!
Another idea: 1 inch thick particle board with sheet metal on top. Not very clampable and can burn if your weld is too hot, but has done the job for me for many years.
Smart idea! I've been looking for a good idea for a cheap welding table for some time. I've already got a lead on one of these saws for $80, which around here is a pretty good price. And yes - please make the belt sander - otherwise this motor is going to be sitting around my shop collecting the wrong kind of dust forever.
