Rules for assembling a pre-cut fabrication kit of any kind: 1 - grind off flash, blobs, and bumps flush, 2 - de-burr every hole and corner, dress all edges, 3 - dry assemble and check for fit and alignments (square, parallel, flat, etc) 4 - correct any deficiencies found, Then go on to assembly. Among the attrubutes of good workmanship is home-built equipment doesn't shred, maim, scalp, draw blood, scrape, grate, or slice up its user or his overalls.

I bought a 4x10 they welded it for $400. Problem saved me 2 days effort but more importantly is for the table to be flat it needs to be welded on a flat surface. For me I did not have a surface large enuff. Certiflat is a great company to do biz with and they make a great product.

I followed this exact procedure on the same table. My table in the middle came out crowned by about .050. I am wondering if the welding process for the top caused some distortion. Maybe do one tack in the middle then the outside and back in. Double check your top when it’s flipped over before welding to top plate on. Thank you for the video it was very informative.

I believe it is a 36" x 48" and the model number is FB3648. I was at their website just now looking at one. It is their largest model that I could find there. It's around $900 without shipping. That is just for the top and doesn't include the leg kit and casters. The leg kit is another $245 and then you have to buy the accessories for it like the angle brackets and bolts and such. You'll probably be into it for about $1,200 when your done.

@scottmcelhiney3236 жыл бұрын
These kits are not very thick, but the lattice stressed structure makes it stable. Most welders go with the thickest table they can afford/move for the least distortion due to heating when welding and so they can tack things to the table and then grind the tacks back down for years to come. This is for investing in clamps and fixtures rather than tacking your work to the table. I built a 2' x 3' table with a 5/8" top and legs out of square tubing with big bolts and nuts as leveling adjusters for under $200 in materials... but no laser cut anything and a lot of millscale to grind off. I've been thinking about one of these for months, but will have too also invest in clamps and other fixture tools to go with it.

Nice design and concept but at $5200, and you still have to assemble it yourself, somebody thinks their shit don't stink. For that price I can go buy a 6' x 12' x 3/4" plate plus another plate that size of 3/8" stock for all the backing plates and pay a skilled fab man $35 an hour to manually mill and drill every slot and hole even it takes him a week to do it.

@mrsqueakthecat.80616 жыл бұрын
How about showing your math and proving him wrong. Where I am at a good fabricator makes far less than $35 an hour which makes his $35 pretty generous for what is remedial metal fabrication work. Plus if you think welding work is or requires high precision you're daft. There's a reason it called welding table and not a machinists assembly table! Which are actually made from solid precision ground stone and actually cost less than those $5200 welding tables do. Starrett sells a 36" x60" x10" solid stone machinist table for ~$4150 and precision ground to +- .0005" dead flat.
@02lb72500HD6 жыл бұрын
Mr Squeak The Cat. Well its a 1000 welding table used for easy setup and fixturing. But unless you use a cad setup for plas table the chances of actually getting all the holes lined up exact are probably pretty slim hand drilling. If the fab guys are that much under 35 an hour something is wrong. But those machinist stones are freaking killer tho. They had 4 or 5 at the company i used to work for and it took me forever to figure out what they actually were lol
@thecustodian10236 жыл бұрын
Pretty sure you don't need holes set to 1000'ths of an inch tolerances for welding fixture set up work. +-1/8" would be plenty accurate enough an I've been around professional fabricators and machinists for near 40 years and I don't know any who make $35 an hour that aren't overpaid union hacks. But I do know many would knock that table out to

Best way I found to skin this cat is buy plans ($29) from MakerTable.com, have local fab shop laser cut ($800) steel ($400) from local steel supplier. I used 3/8" thickness top and 1/4" thickness for webbing. I paid an additional $90 for 5/8" threaded rod, washers & nuts to make 32 clamps for assembly. Top sits on a pallet conveyor base, which I bought at auction for $25. I also purchased full-locking 5"dia. steel wheel casters (capacity 900lb each) for $80 from hywproducts.com. Prices are what I paid for a 4x6ft table in October 2019 in Charlotte, NC. Total cost $1,400. But I sold conveyor rollers & motor for $400, which helped offset cost. Best, @HoneyOnWales
