    I was so sick of working on the ground so I finally made a welding table. I really wanted something with adjustable feet. That way I could adjust it to be perfectly flush with my table saw which allows it to double as an outfeed table.
    Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I originally was going to have one nut on each leg go inside the leg itself. The nut fit inside just fine, but the fillet weld caused it to interfere with the inside of the leg. I didn't feel like grinding each weld down on the next nut, so I just put them on the outside. The adjustable feet are super handy. I can make sure it's level fairly easily.
    I also wish I would have removed the zinc coating from the nuts prior to welding. I did it outside (with a little breeze and careful not to inhale the smoke) so I didn't run into any issues with getting nauseous or a headache. The welds weren't super pretty, however.

    Nice work! The idea to hold the plates and nut while welding is a great idea.

    All you need is 4 clams use at the same time, ease the speed of work to make it parallel and align

      4 clamps would be nice, but you should look up how much a 3-axis clamp costs haha.

    Nice Table. Wanted to ask how you like your hobart welder? I have yet to purchase a welder and was looking at the Hobart 210. I have never welded before and have decide to try MIG first. How much did the materials cost you for your table? There is a company just down the road from me that sells drops and returned orders for .60 cents a pound.

    Sorry for my bad English. Superb video. What are the dimensions of the tubes and the material thickness please? Thank you in advance

      2" square tubing for the legs. I think the top was 3/8"

    I need some advice....should I buy a metal chop saw or get a Miter saw and use metal cutting blades.

    • @mepro123
      @mepro123  4 роки тому +1

      I don't have experience or knowledge of the performance of metal blades in a miter saw. My gut says that cutting metal with a wood miter saw will really jack up the saw.
      Chop saws are great, but they are far from precise, they are messy, and they are loud.
      If I could have a do-over, I'd buy a band saw designed for metal cutting. Grizzly makes one for around $400 I believe. They are much easier to make accurate cuts with.

      It's a 3-axis clamp. It's amazing for making square corners.
