The NEW Harbor Freight Welding Fixture Table

The new Harbor Freight titanium welding table is exactly what you would expect... kind of. Are many of the pieces, are under sized? Yes. Is it affordable? Definitely. BUT I think this unit also is a good value because of all the tooling that comes with it. Today we are going to slightly modify a single Titanium welding table (2"×3") and build out a full-sized 3'×8' unit. We are going to discover a few fixture table hacks and figure out who is the best customer for this new product.

First off, thanks for not having loud distracting background music inserted into your video. The table is a great idea Harbor Freight came up with. Beats their portable folding ones.

[@lonnies3960]

Nice video. I especially appreciate how you discuss your oversights and things you see after the fact that could have been done better. I think this encourages the amateur fabricator to "give it a try" even if they find they need to change things with time. Cheers.

[@walter2990]

Northern Tool has been carrying this welding table & kit, for quite awhile. Same price during their sales. Also, I attached the short legs first, using the outside bolts only, then attach the longer legs directly onto the frame using the inner bolts. It creates a little stronger mounting point for the longer legs. Cut a piece of 5/8" or 3/4" plywood for the lower leg brace, and then you'll have a shelf to keep the accessories.

[@jamesglavich1426]

Also comes with a wheel kit.

[@suzannesimpson1672]

I have the same table from Northern Tool. Great little table & accessories.

[@speedmaverick]

I have 2 of the Northern Tool tables set up side by side for a 6 x 2 table that's able to be separated to also make a 4 x 3 table depending on the project,

[@SoccerPhoto]

I, too, have the Northern Tool version of this table. I modified the lower brace to allow me to sit at the table for TIG welding. Next upgrade will be casters.

[@cjespers]

I have this table from Northern tool. For a fireproof lower shelf I used a piece of heavy wire shelf.

[@jk_wrangler13]

I have a table similar to that, but I bought mine a few months ago from Amazon. Mine is made by a different company, but everything that you got with yours, I also got with mine. I think it's a great table for a beginner like me. I don't do a lot of welding, I'm still trying to learn how to weld. But think for me, it's great for someone who is just starting to weld. Having all the things that come with the table helps you and saves you time from going out and getting al the clamps and other things.

[@skidrowoffroad]

Nice addition to the shop! I've been using receiver tubing under my work benches for years. It's sweet to be able to move a vise, or other draw bar mounted tool, from one bench to another. However, mine don't stick out so that I don't catch my hip while moving around the table. Also, rather than using a hitch pin, I welded a 1/2-13 nut to the bottom of the tubing and then used a 1" long hex head bolt to clamp the draw bar mounted vise in place. I welded a large washer to the head of the bolt to make it easy to tighten or remove by hand. This makes the tool much more solid than having a hitch pin holding it.

[@TalRohan]

cool idea , thanks for sharing

[@philiprush2462]

No one knows what you are talking about.

[@TalRohan]

@@philiprush2462 I know what he's talking about

[@BishjamIC]

I'm a hobby woodworker primarily, but I do have the need to weld now and then. Just this weekend I made some lumber rack brackets with my little Titanium 125 Fluxcore welder. This would be an upgrade over throwing the fiberglass blanket over my workbench for sure. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this to become available to be sure!

[@irishamerican4558]

I love my Titanium 125 Fluxcore welder. I'm a carpenter, but sometimes need things welded. That little welder is easy to use & gets the job done.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

FYI, Fireball Tool sells a "Insert Hook Clamp" that designed for 3/16" tables like this. These minimize hole distortion from the clamps.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Impressive weld table for a Harbor freight item and wow under 200 bucks I'm definitely impressed

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Excellent video (as of 9/27/23, not shown at HF yet). The flatness, hitch, washer spacer and the height are great takeaways.

[@Beef4Dinner22]

I wonder if my local store was the initial test market, because I bought this table like 1.5 years ago as my first welding/ fixture table. I have been very pleased with it. Two things I did that I would recommend would be adding a shelf that rests on the bottom horizontal pieces (I keep my welder, small gas bottle, and the clamps/ fixtures on the shelf as I have limited shop space) and also using a countersink deburring bit in a drill to put a very light chamfer on each hole. I found that a lot of them had a slight burr, especially after using the clamps some since they put a side load on it. Since the initial deburr, I haven't had any further issues with the clamps causing the raised edges again.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

@@Beef4Dinner22 if you search for it, Google returns HF links but page not found when you open them. I'll keep an eye out. I have a certiflat table and this would be a great addition for those larger projects.

As someone who just made their own fixture table out of 1/2" plate and had to buy a mag drill and annular bits etc this is ingenious for someone on a budget. Only disadvantage I'd see is like you said, heat. I'd be afraid of warping this. As an idea I'd just buy this table to use as a template for my fixture holes. Sounds silly but perfectly drilling 2" O.C. holes by the dozens is very difficult without a CNC machine. It took me so much time to even get 79 holes and i need another 50 at least. I loved this video and see myself buying it for the same reason, an auxiliary table.

[@T0tenkampf]

I was thinking the same thing about using as a template, I just bought a mag drill myself.

[@mathewmolk2089]

A laser,,,,or chalk line will o just as well,,,,,,,,But, other then an acorn table all professional shops tack fixture tabs and then break them off and take a cup wheel and grind the table smooth...Ever heard of wedges and dogs?

[@MrClickbang357]

This is really cool! Nice idea taking a couple of 2 x 3 table tops and making a bigger table! Now you should make a couple of drawers to stash all those pieces that came with the tables!!!

[@billwoehl3051]

Problem with any flat surfaces in my shop is they tend to get used as storage space for odds and ends. 😢😅

[@woozleboy]

I will definitely be buying 1, and quite likely two of these when they get released. I use the folding welding tables they have now with one converted to plasma cutter use. I like the idea of a plywood removable top for use as well.

[@ken481959]

Acorn tables are the ultimate for heavy fab work. I used them for years, and you certainly don't need to worry about grounding through them. They are actually designed to tack weld parts to them if needed. Of course, they are 6-8 inches thick and are various dimensions, 3x3. 4x4. 6x6. Whatever you need. And super heavy. But I do think I may have to pick up one or two of these. Good video. Thanks.

[@mathewmolk2089]

What for? You already know better. - If you can't afford an Acorn 1/2" plate minimum is the poor ma's way to go. - This sheet metal thing is a joke.

[@000302lf]

I also made years ago a welding table of 1/2" steel that was given to me 30X72 that was a steel plate used to cover trenches in roads. I just drill the holes only as I need them not all of them at one time. I've had this table for 20 years and have only 17 holes drilled in it. I have built 4X4s, wrought iron fencing, golf cart frames suspension parts and many other projects and some how 17 holes have worked out fine and I can always just drill more as needed.

[@mathewmolk2089]

Why drill holes????? Everybody else has been welding tabs on tables for over 40 years I have been in the business,,,,,,50 actually ,,,, We did Navy Nuclear NAVSEA 250-1500 and DECAS parts on 1+ thick tables and did not drill once single hole in any of the tables in the shop. - Tack tab,,,,break off.... grind with cup wheel. - Even welded 38,000 pound weldments to positioner tables. (actually did 2 of them for off shore drill rigs) -. Not one single hole drilled anywhere,,,, In case you didn't notice that's a bit beyond a bracket for a winch you are putting on a Jeep. ------ That table is a joke in all respects. FACT - Send it to a wood worker.

I have 2-3 rolling platforms that I could set one of those on, or attach, this will be a great upgrade. And I appreciate the input on the build quality & accessories.

[@sheamcclure6639]

I have started using casters that flip up. Most are rated for hundreds of lbs so roll well. when you want the stability of a regular leg you flip the lever up, the casters fold and the legs are solid on the ground. Best of both worlds.

Thank you for the video on the table, it is just what I need, can’t believe my subscribers haven’t commented how sketchy my little 2 1/2 x 21/2 ss sheet metal is, the only good thing about it is that it does roll around, thank you for the review 😀😀

[@paulcondie2520]

I had no idea they had this! I can't wait to get one

[@chrisscoleri2341]

I’m now interested in doing what you have done. I currently have a wheeled bench about the size of what you have built which rolls under my 16 foot built in bench. I have been using receiver mounted tools for years. My vice, solid stock bender, bead roller, bench grinders and so on have been used that way for a long time. It’s a game changer. I’m building in my 24X24 two car garage where I also park our cars, so everything has to be able to be tucked away when I’m done. I actually got the idea for some of the tucked under storage from a set of Russian nesting dolls my mom has. The receiver idea came from a service vehicle I saw at work one day. Thank you for the down load on this new HF product, I’m going to check it out as soon as it appears at my local store.

[@SimonCoates]

I bought a similar welding table in the UK and added a Flexispot height adjustable desk frame. It's amazing being able to tweak the table to the perfect height. Because it's so versatile I use it as a chop-saw stand, bandsaw stand, in-feed and out-feed table as well as a welding table.

[@ShawnMaceno]

A folding version would be awesome. Also, the 2” trailer receiver is awesome, I have one bolted to the bottom of my workbench surface and I have my bench vise and bench grinder set up to be used that way.

[@mvorn44]

I have an old Workmate. I think I might figure out a way to replace the top with this.

[@ShawnMaceno]

@@mvorn44 I do too, and I replaced the top with two pieces of 3/16” steel. Works well enough, and I can even still open/close the top, but it’s pretty heavy and doesn’t have the fancy fixturing holes this one does.

[@wyo_garage20]

Yeah the old one is garbage. I bought it couple years ago and it’s, well it does what it’s meant to but that’s about it haha. Maybe garbage is too harsh, it’s just small and the little table is easy to tip and wobble.

Thanks again for sharing this review and cheers from Chile!

[@peterxyz3541]

Thanks, as a hobbyist, this table maybe the answer for my needs.

[@raftguy]

The usefulness of this larger table, or some smaller joinable tables, should not be underestimated. Personally I would do the larger one like you have an have a smaller one or two (at the same level of course. ha ha) that can be bolted on as needed to make the L shaped bench. As you say, some wooden or steel toppings/small item boxes with dowls would be ideal since this also prevents slippage. Very very useful for small garage workshops. Great video Nate!

[@MichaelRoachWV]

Can *ANYONE CONFIRM* that these are *actually 5/8 holes* ? I've seen several videos suggesting ordering additional clamps from Northern Tool. I own the Klutch branded table, and it is indeed *16mm* If that's the case, a 16mm peg won't fit in a 5/8 hole. (16mm = 0.629921 and 5/8 = 0.625).

I have a vertical 2" receiver on my welding table to plug tools in. Best thing I did years ago along with adding a cheap 5 drawer tool box underneath.

[@evanhasse]

I can definitely see harbor freight selling out of these fixture tables quickly! As a future upgrade you might consider installing a solid sheet of thin gauge steel or aluminum on the underside of the table a few inches below the surface with a lip on the front edge. Slope it forward so that any parts that fall through the holes roll toward the "front" and any metal fragments, grindings, etc don't just drop on the floor. Makes for an easy way to sneak a shop vac under the table and vacuum up metal pieces without them all over the floor and caught under the caster wheels.

[@samman57]

I absolutely LOVE your channel. To the point that I want to start over landing. In order to do so, I ordered a lift kit from ROUGH COUNTRY. I AM POSTING THIS AS A WARNING TO EVERYONE..... I purchased a 4" lift kit for my 84 Ram Charger. I was told that it would have EVERYTHING that I needed. Well, the front sway bar links, the rear u bolts , and shackles all had to be repurchased due to the lift, being more of a 6" lift. So, it is a bit taller, but my husband is a double amputee, and this causes a problem.... Not including the $248 in parts that I had to purchase afterwards. OK, so I called RC directly and even though he agreed that the wrong parts were in the box, he REFUSED to help in any way! We live on a tight budget, and this f**ked me over , HARD! I just don't want any of you to have to go through the extra money, and crappy service!

[@danielcarney6193]

I did the same thing when I built my fixture table top from Weldtablles, on adding a receiver for a vise. what I didn't like was how loose the receiver was, so I welded a 9/16 nut to the top of the tube and used a short bolt to take the slop out, and hold the vise or attachment with my chop saw or bandsaw on it

[@merritts3515]

Very impressive nate, very interested in seeing where this goes. I still think a table like the Arcflat is a better investment, using more traditional tooling and meant to be easily bolted together.

Northern tool tells an almost identical welding table and has two versions of it. one is the "fixed" table like the unit you have in the video. the other is a more substantial table with casters, and a small pegboard to organize all of the fixturing items. I bought the wheeled unit and i'm digging it so far. it also has a low shelf on it that has been proving useful.

For wood working, you could bolt a plywood top to it, then use the steel holes as a template to get holes in the plywood, which you could then use for clamping. That is a lot of utility for the price.

the hitch receiver is a fantastic idea, especially if you don't have alot of space. I have quite a few tools that I have hitch tubing welded to, and I swap them out on my single vise stand. Yes, it's a little bit of work to swap out tools, but if you don't have alot of room to work, it's fantastic. I suggest adding threaded set screws (welding a nut to the tubing) so that you can snug up the bolts and the tools won't flop around on the receiver tube. the hitch pin keeps them from falling out, but set screws/bolts keep them from flopping around when using them. :)

A BIG BLACK EYE FOR HARBOR FREIGHT I have a Harbor freight TITANIUM FLUX 125 WELDER purchased from Harbor Freight a couple years ago. I am a retired plumbing contractor and backyard hobbyist. I love to build things in my spare time and help friends and neighbors that need something repaired. When I retired and closed my business, I had a stick welding machine but had no convenient place to connect it at my home! It would require an upgrade to my electrical service not worth the trouble and expense! When I saw a couple reviews on KZbin for this Titanium 125 welder, I thought that would be the way to go. I already had a 110 Volt 30 Amp circuit to my workshop! It took me a while to get adjusted to the flux wire welding. I built a minibike from scrap pipe I had left over from the plumbing shop. The welder allowed me to make other things and make repairs for others I wouldn’t be able to do without it. In the middle of my last project, I cut a couple pieces of metal and got ready to weld them and when I pushed the button on the welder, nothing happened! It was dead! The fan did not come on but the light on the ON/OFF indicated there was power to the welder. I checked the manual for a reset button or a fuse and found no mention of either. So, I called the Harbor Freight 800 number and was told there was no repair for this welder. Harbor Freight has no repair facility, and no support is available. I was told by two different tech reps there is no schematics or parts list available from the factory where this is manufactured. “It is not worth getting it repaired and cheaper to go purchase a new one!” If you purchase this welder or many other things from Harbor Freight You only have 3 Months Warranty. It is considered disposable after that! All the reviews and discussion I have read about HARBOR FREIGHT I have never seen anything about their total lack of support for their products! I didn’t even get an “I’m sorry” or any offer for a discount on a new welding machine! I am retired, was an electronics technician in the Navy, active Ham Radio operator and electronics hobbyist. I feel like the electronics in this welding machine is straight forward non computer controlled and any decent electronics tech should be able to repair this given reasonable support. I removed the circuit board from the welder and found where a small component burned of course not knowing the component value or purpose will make it difficult to replace. Providing a schematic and parts list is a very inexpensive form of support that should be a minimum requirement. Their claim to revenue of 7 Billion Dollars tells me they could afford it! Leland Cox

[@kerndone]

I just picked one up today, thanks to your video! For anyone wondering, no it is not on the website as of today (10/5/2023). However, the "bad link" had a part number and I asked someone in the store if they could look up part number 59403. Indeed they had ONE in the back, but she said they expect another one later today. So it sounds like they might be trickling in, even though there isn't even a tag for it anywhere near the welding items. Ask nicely, and they just might have one in the back!

Level your Aux table with your Fab table. Add a receiver hitch to your Aux table with a pinch bolt on the bottom as well as the spring clip holes. Add pinch bolts to the bottoms of the receivers on your Fab table. Now you can use a piece of square tubing to fix your Aux table to your Fab table in a locked but adjustable way so you can use fixturing on both tables for large parts like say a 6 foot by 10 foot roof rack or other large project.

That table is going to sell itself. You are right about how convenient it is to own such a fast table

[@mackenziesibley7025]

Thats bad ass i need one for sure

[@mrmidnight32]

As much as I love this, there is no way this isn’t going to warp. I have a raw cut 4x3.5” weld table that’s 3/16” sheet from my local steel yard I made my self and it’s warped with minimal heat input into the table with general and small projects. Especially with out the side skirts which add strength and rigidity. Good in theory, good in price. Don’t expect much long term.

I was thinking of welding on a boarder of maybe 1x2 or 1X3 and some webbing underneath of either 1X2 or 1/8” wall 1X1 (because I have a lot of it) to help stiffen it up.

[@RealTimeSmith]

I did this with 3tops 1x3 drop in frame we made on casters... works great for stuff like fence gates door frames etc

[@williamscalzitti217]

yup... 3/16" is just to thin for a fixture table. i'd rather have a 1/2"plate that isn't very flat, but would be more stable

[@bengarza7279]

Good point on warping, jig table tac welding..

[@donaldsullivan6979]

Why do people overlook merely stacking two of the tops? From 3/16 to 3/8 by simply drilling and plug welding and suddenly you have plate and can use 5/8 fixture table clamps instead of these bolt down clamps.

Good video, great ideas on what to do.

Fireball Tool has entered the chat.

[@gordoncouger9648]

This would work for any or several types of workbenches. The top is made from anything from a single sheet of 1/8 inch hardboard or a piece of carpet to keep pieces from falling through the holes to complex fixtures in a manufacturing plant. I can see it being used for fixtures to do repetitive glue-ups in wood. With all these tops and fixtures hanging on the wall waiting to be used.

[@ken481959]

And to help keep it free of glue, I use a roll of craft paper that is hung on one end of the table. Easy peasy. Just pull it up over the table top as long as you need to cover. Tear it off and throw it away when it's too funky.

Thanks Nate!

[@UrbanOpsOffRoad]

I’ll definitely will be buying one!

[@johnhufnagel]

couple thoughts: 1) this will be perfect for the kid, who is getting into welding as a career. he already bought his welder, cart, bottles, and I got him the other HF welding table, the one that folds up. this would allow him to start practicing fixturing work as well. 2) these would be perfect for appropriately sized fixture setups that, you want to keep configured but don't need all the time. you could just buy one of these tables, make your fixture setup, and leave it alone between projects. 3) this could be great for intermediate fixture setups; you're doing a big project with lots of smaller assemblies that are all the same. you set up your fixture to make those, then use your fancy big expensive table to line them all up for final assembly. 4) having to shim the top to the frame to fix flatness issues... it's HF. It's $170. It's worth the hassle. :D 5) for your receiver idea... put in mounts under the table to store the tools. convenient storage, and it'll help add mass (as if you need it!)> 6) then you'll need an integrated power strip for some of the tools to plug in. :D

[@ken481959]

I put a rack under my table to hold TiG wire tubes. Using some PVC pipe and conduit clamps works great and is easy to install.

[@robbelk6465]

I got one from northern tool, it came with the same clamping tools...but it was around 200$.... harbor freight is stepping up ❤

[@Peter-od7op]

Hey what do you think buy 2 stack them for strenth
