Fab Table

What are you guys using for a Fab/Welding Table?

1/2 inch thick solid steel sheet with 4x4 1/4 wall steel legs braced 40 different ways. It will never move again! It probably weighs 2 ton.

At school we use a standard 3x6 shop table with wheels on one side that we welded 1/8th plate on the top and torch holsters on the legs.

What ever does not have too much stuff on it for me to work on at the time. Usually the floor! :conceited

I built mine last year based on the plan from miller welding website.

It is 4x6 and 3/8" top. A great table. Not too big and not too small. I welded several pieces of 2.5 square tubing with 1/4" wall under the bottom and used it to mount grinders, vices, etc on the table that can be easily removed. Spend the $ and get some good lockable casters for your table.

How much did yours end up running?

All I had to buy was the 3/8 plate and the casters and the paint. The other stuff I had laying around. I think the plate (4x8 that I cut down) was about $150. The casters were pricey cause I got four with locks on them, I think they were nearly $30 each at tractor supply. I didn't put the grate in it for cutting cause I have another table I do the cutting on.

I have a small shop so it's on casters. They lock for the notcher.

1/4" top with a frame of 3/4" x 4' wide.

Racks for clamps, drill and grinders.
