    I bought a Primeweld tig welder a few years ago. Very nice unit. I don't do a lot of tig welding, so after a few months of non use, I had an issue I couldn't figure out. I called them and they immediately diagnosed the problem, and sent me a replacement part, which arrived the next day... for FREE. When UPS dropped the part off at my door, I got an email from them within 15 minutes stating that the part had arrived and to please call them with any questions. I must say, in all my 53 years on this planet, I have never been so impressed with a company's customer service. That alone would steer me towards the Primeweld table. He wasn't joking when he said their service is second to none.

      I have the primeweld cut60 plasma cutter I had a problem I shipped to them an got it back in 2 or 3 days at no cost. Primeweld is in South Jersey and I'm in north jersey.
      But still the customer service is very good

      @fuzzandtanya True, but each of my Miller welders has also had some issue over the years, and they were no where as easy to deal with, and very expensive to fix. The Primeweld has been as as good as any miller or lincoln I have ever used, at 1/3 the price. IMO, totally worth the risk to try it.

    I have a pair of the primeweld tables side by side and it's the best thing I've ever done for my welding. They're solid and accurate, only complaint I have is that one showed up with the bottom side covered in rust. Wasn't a big deal but still a couple hours of my time to remove it. Admittedly didn't complain to primeweld, so no idea if they would have done anything about it. Regardless, for the price I'm very happy and have considered getting a third to expand my working area.

    THANKS! Was just doing a last minute comparison before heading over to HF to get their portable table (my first welding table for my first welder, a Primeweld 225 TIG, so was just looking for "anything" to just get started making welds). Love the fold-up portability for my tight garage space, but the *toxic gas emitting zinc coating* makes that a complete non-starter. Thanks for this info so that I don't wind up with a warped table and damaged lungs tomorrow. Will be checking out the Primeweld table instead -- if you can't get "cheap but good, all you need now but you'll outgrow it" go all in for "expensive but awesome, overkill but you'll grow INTO it". Thanks for making me see WHY to get the most expensive table and that it's the CHEAP long term solution! You got a subscriber!

    Great video! I actually just purchased an ArcFlat system from Langmuir recently. Got two tops, a leg kit, the bolt kit (did NOT JBWeld them) and some fixtures. I love the table and it actually shipped to me in less than 4 days from my order. I was surprised since it does say 3-4 weeks lead time. I do agree about the legs, but I can always make another set down the road if I need to so it was just kinda something to get it standing till I decide what to do. Even without JBWelding the tops together it is extremely flat from one to another and fixtures reach across them like they are one piece.

    Maybe you missed it at SEMA, but STV CNC now has a few different models of fixture/welding tables starting at $500. They offer 3 thicknesses of laser cut tables so one could argue the thinner one isn’t a good fixture table, but fits well in your sample set right in the middle.

    I've had two of the Langmuir fixture blocks since December 2020 and they've been amazing. Affordable and flat fixturing for the hobbyist or entry-level professional. Either the Primeweld or the Langmuir would be a world of difference above and beyond just about everything else available to the entry-level welder these days.

    I bought a Harbor Freight adjustable table and immediately did two mods. First locking wheels then I cut the welds on the leg brackets, drilled the vertical posts and made the table height adjustable.Yes it warped, so I got a piece of 3/8" steel the 24"x36". Some day I will drill to top to use clamps

  • @1990notch
    @1990notch 6 місяців тому

    I bought the Klutch table a year ago. Unfortunately they weld the top to a frame and due to that it has a dished top. It's dished at least 1/16 in the center. The HF titanium looks like the top is bolted on, so probably doesn't have that issue. That's probably the better choice if that's all your budget allows.

    The nuts on the bottom of the legs on the Langumuir where not flat at all. Who/whatever welded the plate onto the bottom where the nut is "welded" to was crooked. They sent me a replacement leg which was also crooked. So i gave up and just welded casters to the bottom of the legs directly. I wish the Primeweld was around when i bought my Langumiur table a year or two ago when they first came out.

    I just spent nearly $5k on 2 of the fireball tools new dragon wagon fixture tables and a handful of clamps & blocks for them. Tables are all inclusive w/beefy adjustable legs, casters & brakes.
    Tables start shipping early December - I cannot wait to get them set up.
    They’ll be my first fixture tables. I’ve been just using fireball squares & clamps on a homemade 1/4” this table until now.
    I’m just a hobbyist in a home shop but I figure buy one cry once.
    But as long as you can make do with what you can afford and what tools you have you can learn a lot with set up and fixturing.

    One issue I see with the weld together at home table is warpage after you weld it together ( heat ) . Also it isn't likely that someone looking for their first table is going to have a flat surface to bolt it to.so they are likely going to start out with an un flat table.

It completely takes away the purpose of a fixture table. If you’re spending $700 plus on a table you shouldn’t have to go buy another piece of metal to stick on top of it. Not to mention every time you talk about it the price that pops up on your little picture is $65, that is for a 15” x 20” piece of 1/4” aluminum. All of the tables you showed are bigger than 15” x 20”. The biggest size offered is 24” x 36” x 1/4” for $200!!! Ridiculous man…

      How can I believe you know what you're talking about? Cite your evidence.
