I came into this like "this guy is going to be using stuff he got for free. What life hack could he had possibly found." The second you cut to the table saw it clicked for me, f-ing genius man!

Ingenious! I'm not going to lie, the instant I saw that you were going to cannibalize a cast iron topped table saw, I got a bit grumpy but you've won me over with your ingenuity and the willingness to use all of the parts and not just scavenge the top.

Just snagged this exact table saw off FB marketplace for $40 because the switch doesnt work anymore. Thank you brother! Easy Sub.

Awesome

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

I Love this kind of stuff. So many people just buy new stuff and pass over on something super functional and cost effective. This is perfect.

[@amcustomfab]

Thanks for the support 😎👊

[@seldendaniel8819]

I love it! My friends all laughed at me when I told them that I use an old Craftsman cast iron table saw for a welding table, and I have emailed them links to your video. To my friends, "In your face!" Your clamping ideas are good, I'm going to try them.

[@johnbarker5009]

I used to have a welding table I built from a table saw top, it worked great. I love the idea of building a belt sander with some of the left over parts.

[@gouletfilms]

Genius!!! I’m keeping my eyes open for one for myself now. Thanks for the great idea, love your videos.

[@amcustomfab]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mikesilvestri5651]

Great video Alex! That’s too funny you mentioned making the belt sander with the leftover stuff because that was my exact thought when I first saw it all on. The table. I’ve been thinking about making one for the past couple months just trying to figure out the easiest and best way to make it happen. Definitely some good parts there to get started!

Wow, I agree with many others below, what a GREAT idea and wait there's more, it's very affordable and expandable. There's always a ton of these around cheap or free. Great video, thanks so much.

I'm teaching myself to weld on a budget. I've been trying to come up with ideas for weeks for a table. This is awesome! Thx!

[@paulvanhouts7291]

This suits my 3 R’s: recycle, repurpose and reuse. This is a fairly simple approach. Thanks for sharing

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

That's a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@1flyndoc]

Love the geeking out over moving parts and the creativity about re-purposing!!!!

[@todayletsbuild2153]

I did this with and old saw years ago and worked great. I found the cast iron shed spatter better than most new tables. I was planning to make almost same video in the future. I will see what I can do differently. Great video. Subbed.

[@amcustomfab]

Look forward to it 😎

[@schmidtreininghorses1067]

Cool idea, I’m going to try this. I’m new to welding and have been looking for ideas of a mobile work area that won’t break the bank. Belt sander idea is cool too. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ARFunIn]

Thank you for sharing this great idea. I too have a Craftsman table saw from the late 80's that needs to continue buying its footprint in the garage. It will never be a cabinet quality tool so doubling as a welding setup table is perfect.

[@randomtom]

Awesome video, just started to learn how to weld so interested to see where this goes. Off to watch more of your videos!

[@retiredfederalie178]

I chuckled when I saw the saw! I have been using my Craftsman table saw top (identical to this one) as a flat welding table for years. I didn’t take it off the stand but reinforced that to keep it more ridged. Yes you do have to keep it clean or you have some small barbecues! I would like to see a belt sander made too.

I did the same with an old ‘50s one I got for free last year. It works great!

Impressive! Resourceful, innovative, young man. Rare these days. Gonna keep checking back.

[@farkroy]

I own that exact tablesaw and with a few upgrades it makes it a pretty nice saw. I use similar fixtures for woodworking glue ups, but for obvious reasons I never considered welding on it. Great video! I need to find another tablesaw I guess. Hope to see a belt sander from you. Cheers

[@christhomas1102]

[@amcustomfab]

I have a whole playlist on this table build. We do clamps, magnetic vise, and build a belt sander. And I think there's a couple more videos to come because I still have parts left over 😎 Thanks for watching supporting channel.

[@AJH10000]

Excellent idea and if you connect a few of them you could have a huge table

[@MarioIArguello]

Awesome repurpose. People sometimes do not know what they throw away or get rid off. The older equipment is much better then newer ones, more solid. I've come across a lot of good stuff I have repurposed in so many ways, so this video is right up my alley. But this is an awesome way to make a welding table. I just started welding and came across this video. You grabbed my attention by the build under $30 title, I thought you were going to use some thick ply and cover it with a sheet metal, even doing that can be expensive when you purchase raw materials.

[@francoisbouvier7861]

Not sure if the old stuff is necessarily better. I'll definitely vouch that it's heavier. Usually a plus. Found my last cast top saw at the garbage transfer station. That'll make four as now, highest $= $30. Router table, designated tenon cutter for log rails/furniture.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

That table is a great idea. I just happen to have one of those Craftsman table saws in my garage that I got from my dad several years ago. I have a Jet cabinet saw so the Craftsman really just collects dust and whatever other bits and pieces I set on top of it. It might have to migrate to a new life as a welding table. And yes on the belt sander. Also, I just subscribed. I'd like to see what other interesting things you can come up with.

[@amcustomfab]

[@viscache1]

I bought an 8’x5’ welding table with schedule 80 frame and it’s too big for my shop. So I have a welding table in my driveway outside the barn…which is kind of handy when I’m working on our heavy equipment…all for 130 on craigslist! Great Idea…many of us have one of these laying around! And you get to use the electric motor for something else! You can also use the elevation and tilt mechanisms for special weld positioners.

I like the thought behind this there's 3 or 4 local to me I might pick 1 up this weekend

[@felixaudet5860]

Another idea: 1 inch thick particle board with sheet metal on top. Not very clampable and can burn if your weld is too hot, but has done the job for me for many years.
