Hey, another thing that will help with the longevity of the machine is a dedicated ground. Drill a hole through the concrete floor, pound a grounding rod in there and connect the chassis of the table to it. After burning up about 4 controllers in our plasmacam table, we did that and it stopped frying them AND it helped with the communication issues we were having. The plasma cutter does some wild things to electronics at random times. Works great for years then one day BAM! fries a computer or a controller or communication issues, etc. So even if you have a good ground at your electrical box, a dedicated ground improves things immensely.

[@BretBerger]

If you do that I think NEC wants to see this ground bonded to the building's electrical system ground. You want all grounds at the same potential.

[@melgross]

That’s interesting that you were able to do that. The work clamps going to the plasma table isn’t a ground, though most people call it that. It’s a live connection to the plasma cutter. If the table chassis is then grounded, the work clamp will be commented to ground. That will blow the plasma. The same problem with welders. I don’t know how you were able to ground the table, or did you just do that to the electrical ground coming from the electronics?

Great table build Austin! Great attention to detail. I'm a tool guy. Always have been. Recently I've immersed myself into the CNC world.....3d printer, laser engraver, CNC router, and just put together a Langmuir Crossfire Pro. I built a framework incorporating a harbor freight five drawer cart with a water holding tank under the table. I have learned a tremendous amounts from KZbin vids like yours and so grateful for them. The tip about the USB may come in handy for sure. From what I've gathered, mill scale isn't hardened, it's actually soft. Went it gets heated, it just kinda moves around. I've found a stripper disk works on some. most of the brackets for my 67 Camaro resto-mod build, I've soaked in a white vinegar solution for a day. The mill scale just melts off. Be rather a tough solution on the table build, but smaller parts vinegar works good. Mostly for rough mig welding that isn't structurally related, I just burn through it. For tig...it's a no-go, but large builds probably wouldn't be tig welding anyway. Again thanks for your content.

[@arnoldlewis6572]

Those machines and tools are lucky to have you, the right man for the right tools. The table looks great.

[@AXNJXN1]

Austin, have watched other vids but I digress, THIS video and build is nothing short of genius and awesome. I absolutely love the underside structure and overall build formula of this table. I honestly do not know if this table could ever warp unless it was heated up by an atomic blast. Rock solid, look stunningly aggressive and well constructed. I think ANYONE who watches you build has an honest desire to actually HAVE one of these. Damn nice, no shit...

[@melgross]

Very nice design. It’s the best design of this type I’ve seen, including the Certiflat. Yes, they have the slots and tabs, but it’s not really more work to put together the way you did it. I just question the 2.5” hole spacing as you can’t use it with fixtures that require 2 inch spacing.

[@mikemullenix6956]

As you probably already know, a mag drill would be a great way to drill those holes

[@TriggerHapySheep]

For clamp holding, cut another smaller plate with the same hole size as the table but closer together. All the clamps can just standup on the plate and take up a lot less space, then you can weld that plate anywhere you need/want

[@austinniemela]

Good idea!

[@richardmiller5238]

Now that's a fine welding table! You always go the extra mile when you do any work! 👌👌 Enjoyed the build!

[@onetonf350]

I feel like you have quite a lot of skill set for your age. Impressive videos. Ive watched too many. Good job each time

[@jwiereng]

What factors did you consider that lead you to use 2.5 inch hole spacing?

[@melgross]

I was wondering about that too. There are many fixtures that work with either 2 inch spacing, or 50mm spacing. None can be used with this if they require two holes, as many do.

[@TheDesertRat31]

Austin, this table is bad to the bone! I like the extension and the vise mount. Question: are the plans you're selling something i could use to order from send-cut-send? I dont have access to a plasma table. I suppose I could aak around and see if anyone I know from work either has one or knows someone, but the SCS idea just hit me while watching the build video. I dont even know if send cut send is cost effective. The other thing i guess is calling a couple metal suppliers and asking them.

[@ich1ban916]

Awesome video, lots of useful info especially on the usb port grounding issue causing problems with the THC and phenomenal table build too!

[@Halfwheelhell]

as always, fantastic design, craftsmanship and video. excellent price on the plans as well. thank you !

[@randallhinds9463]

💯👊💥Great build! How much does it weight? Did you use a 4x8 or 4x10 sheet of 1/4" plate?

[@anthonybryan6105]

Awesome video, enjoyed the table build….

[@thomaspotthoff3139]

Nice Dude!! Now I need a Plasma Table 😞

[@wizrom3046]

When you buy a CNC Plasma Cutter, everything you build looks like a jigsaw puzzle. 😎👍

[@ua6850]

Just a great table! cool job👍

[@oldowl4290]

Congrats dude. I built a welding table a few years ago based on the TFS guy. Its 3ft x 5ft with end extensions out to 8ft and uses 3” x 1” rectangle tubes which are welded with angle iron in sections of 3 tubes so that you can remove sections of the table as needed for any project. Its what many people build when they don’t have a plasma CNC 😂.

[@srenfreiesleben1028]

Great build Austin :) I am trying to make a CNC plasma for my small shop, would be really nice to have :) That Langmuir Pro is really nice

[@daddy2sgirl]

Great job! Where did you get the magnetic strips?

[@ronthompson2366]

Your attention to detail is above and beyond. Great table and it is extremely well built. Your grandchildren will enjoy it ! You are outfitting the shop very nicely. Looking great 👍. Always enjoy watching your program and looking forward to seeing what's next. 😎

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! It should be nice in the shop!

[@formdog9861]

nice work and nice welds i enjoy the videos thanks

[@tomwagemans1872]

That's a nice welding table. Love the magnet idea. I'm going to use that on my future welding table project!

[@deanpurks7474]

I have been following along on your builds I have the same table and Cut 60 plasma over 3 years now no problems with either except like you said the THC will do what ever it wants at times and i have already fixed the usb problem some time ago Langmuir has been very good we are still working on this problem,anyway I was wondering what your cut specs for 1/4" and 1/2" do you use on 1/4" i'm at 45 amps, .7 pierce, 45ipm outside and put a cut rule in to slow the hole speed to 20 ipm.I mostly do race car parts weld tabs ,mounts,etc also signs monograms. Also what machine torch are you using and are you using shielded or nonshielded tips? Thanks Dean

[@pacificnorthwest9416]

Excellent video! You can geek over all the fixture table possibilities, well worth the time spent fabricating it!

[@nickhershey9963]

I just purchased your plans for this. Any issues reaming holes with the plasma cut hardening the steel around it?

[@BretBerger]

Very satisfying build Austin. Well done. You'll want that 120VAC to 12VDC power supply enclosed in something. Otherwise grinding dust will accumulate inside and cause mayhem.

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Very nice table build! I know prices change a lot, but what was your rough estimate for the steel? I don’t have a plasma table, yet. But I do have a steel mill that can custom cut all this out for me. Just wanna have a rough idea of how much it may cost so I don’t walk in there and walk right back out 😂

[@austinniemela]

I spend about $900 total for the table!

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

@@austinniemela Not bad! Thanks very much for the reply, love your work and all the projects you do.

[@joesobaski1966]

Shocker, turned out incredible! Nice job Austin!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

What is a good source to learn Fusion 360? I got the free version, but I can tell there is a steep learning curve. Thanks!

[@austinniemela]

Yes it's tough to learn! I just googled any issues I was having, there's also KZbin videos you can watch!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

@@austinniemela Thank you

[@davidrasmussen2975]

I agree it is ultimate. I wonder how flat it is?? “ you scratched my weld table”

[@austinniemela]

It’s really flat still!

[@stevepuntenney6563]

Nicest table I have ever seen.

[@nickcbr650r]

the use of the engine hoist was def the best way to explain work smarter not harder ahahaha

Bon Boulo👍👍😄😄

[@ctech14367]

Dude you got mad skills that table is sick

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!

[@forster46]

Awesome! Been wondering when you were gonna ditch that plastic folding table and get a real fab table.

[@austinniemela]

Haha I’ll never ditch the trusty plastic table!

[@duanedurrant1]

Question for a newbie. How do you protect the top unpainted finish while keeping it conducive but rust resistant

[@austinniemela]

I haven't done anything and it hasn't rusted at all! I did paint the underside

[@KH102695]

Well done!! That has to be one of the nicest fab table I've ever seen. It should defiantly help with your future project quality for sure.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@Z-Bart]

Very nice! I would love one. No room with all my woodworking stuff.

[@mikediamond257]

AWESOME table my man. When i'm ready those plans will come in handy!

[@crazycaseyscustoms]

Awesome job, Austin. Is the raw voltage wiring still working good for you? If so, I hope that it will continue to, and that the Primeweld won’t give you any more grief. As for me, my new Everlast 62i is going to be here today. I can’t wait to see if this thing solves my problems. I can’t believe that TWO Primeweld Cut60’s burned up for me in less than a month. And I’ve barely cut anything. If the Everlast works, I think I’ll buy your table plans try it out. Very cool design!

[@austinniemela]

Yes it’s been working out great!! Hopefully the everlast will help you out! Thanks!!

[@motoxman541]

Just out of curiosity, how much did that sheet run ?

[@austinniemela]

$450 for the 1/4" sheet

[@SWFabrication.]

Awesome job on the table and what a great idea with the magnetic base section. I use a chucked magnetic base that goes in my vise, works great but having it built into the table would work ten times better. Nicely done.

[@125sm3]

Wow what a result 👍

[@theoregonhistoryhunters2209]

Props man! Way to look out for your peeps!

[@lowtidecustoms1166]

Great, great job!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Epic build as always!

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Austin, You should build a gantry crane so you can move around the shop as needed

[@KeithConley]

Nice table. The magnets are a nice touch! Have you seen the fixture table from Fireball Tools out of Spokane?

[@amcustomfab]

That turned out really nice

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!

[@vfeuer9236]

do you use auto cad to project or is just on eye sight austin?

[@austinniemela]

I use Fusion360 to draw parts!

[@norcoredneck]

Very nice table.

[@jeremycintron8071]

Hey Austin! Love the videos man! I’m currently doing a r150f swap into my 95 4Runner and wanted to know what transmission oil did you run in your R150f? I know I’ve seen it in one of your videos from when you rebuilt the 3.4 swapped pickup but i can’t seem to find it. Any help would be great! Also great job on all your builds, you help give me the courage to do some improvements on my own yota.

[@paengsolo2047]

Perfection

[@user-gr4sk4jw5q]

2:44 what thickness is this sheet?

[@AllMotorGarage907]

quick tip ,if you have smaller parts to remove scale soaking over night in vinegar will get it all off

[@reneduguay3760]

i have a small plastic kids pool (i use a second one as a lid) under my table with vinegar in it and i just drop the parts off the table in it and by the next morning you can just rinse off the mill scale. 20$ kids pool with 2 inch of the cheapest vinegar you cant find saves a lot of work and its safe to use.

[@ironpug42]

Ok awesome I want it lol

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

That is a nice piece of equipment

[@franzupet4406]

Masking tape is cheeper than news paper in united state of amerca

[@rogertaylor8615]

Super nice

[@abpsd73]

The bar along the side could be used to hang grinders behind the disc. Another addition might be a power bar so if you are using several tools you're not running a bunch of extension cords.

[@johncallaway7410]

super nice work.. I have said to myself many times... " If he only had my roubo workbench ( about five hundred pounds ) ... "

[@MrAlaska66]

Cheap kiddie pool and vinegar, soak the steel overnight, mill scale gone.

[@smokeybeardco]

My THC hasn’t worked from day 1 on my crossfire. I have my table pretty flat so it hasn’t been an issue yet, I’m sure with light gauge steel and warping it would be horrible. I’m definitely going to check the usb truck you showed!!

[@austinniemela]

Yes for sure check that usb and let me know!!
