How to Make a Concrete Vibrating Table for Under £50 / $80

This is my video on how to make a simple concrete vibrating table for under £50 or $80.
Here is the vibrating motor used in this video: UK Link rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F220V-50HZ-Concrete-Vibrator-Motor-Cement-Vibrator-Motor-Table-Cast-Iron-2480RPM%2F202816144160%3F_trkparms%3Dispr%253D1%26hash%3Ditem2f38c8c320%3Ag%3A46YAAOSwy4JdwnkV%26amdata%3Denc%253AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%25252Fn%25252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkrmmq8hWevtuKE7%25252F%25252BLfVXtmATZIlZmpTTIrcpi6vLPANFHUBcJo6iTu27UVDMwlnw75Rijn0bSsWCECb5FWgGtbIITNQDPRawWsq8%25252F9mjNpv0Ud7586U7p2PBLzlKUKMHJ79p9%25252FbtByqebDtVX167bpuSvg3mD%25252BEZieamVdezsRHiuFxF4VqA7XkIDu1zrOL5P%25252BR%25252Bd4j2%25252BmbqZWmVfNuUZdldkMyZHjWQbne%25252Bzf%25252BUvqsKbdnM%25252B1q%25252BRDqmc39VwAuvB9Ns4TOLWlyygrVT5ldSH8%25252FwAvHrO5doSUg%25252F8zeQIpWJGx31VY6kjmUmsdrLqpm%25252BolrCPjgln06VJFyNA5SIGZ%25252FngW8gkxsjAvnHCojtWPnHDcOpIsdzCQ%25252BTvLo%25252F78OPEVYFdFJQ0egp0rkno3SofNBpEFCFIeJGxaQGUIQizWgjhOkEZoICGSEd%25252BGAFpoEbtfvubfJxwbUYYDm31j3aZDQjheuTbi4yB7u5eLtbMsoyXlLrIHxG0Fa5p%25252F3CREYYKXfnK7OPFFV41DoafTqBXbHnvPl3nKW%25252B0zGxic8A82kz8SL7AP3H31lhL1D7N80gP4VDe4XkjcDFGilSU%25252B2oTFFTrlsY9IAuS%25252FeG7YKr9IQRVcGDf%25252FGZiSaWq%25252FumaWezyoaxeDxbGKWYCBkI%25252Fi637ox92dt15PxT%25252FszKCtz6ayOCyKZcQ28D0dSPcAAaDXo%25252FSBEhkJeBqnxNng5rRBTQxg%25252FoyC5%25252BTRYfqy3tWP3v7TOfim7fn91m36akl57a0OpR%25252Fd%25252FDgoFUZLcjj0FAAC0%25252Be2elbwSEuveRPkl%25252FtwMEQWI%25253D%257Ccksum%253A202816144160276c75fb170f47ad9558fa95b4b8aabd%257Campid%253APL_CLK%257Cclp%253A2334524&campid=5338290130&toolid=20008 USA Link amzn.to/3b7ox0M

Thank you from south korea

[@clintandersen1180]

Try to built it this weekend…so glad I found your channel! I’ll let you know if it turns out.

[@liamdawes]

Whoop, thanks for the shout out Matt! Awesome vid as per

[@MattHutton]

Hey Liam, no probs. Glad you like the video. Let me know if you need any help with anything. :)

[@kevinmcgrath9136]

Hey Matt! thanks for the info! I will for sure give it a try!

[@MattHutton]

No problem, Kevin. Let me know if you need any help ;)

[@jayanunnithan7395]

Good idea

[@dreamcat4]

Thanks so much man! Really simple but well worth it.

[@MattHutton]

No problem, glad you found it useful. Let me know how it works out for you. ;)

[@flavioalberici3920]

Thanks, Any chance to resend the link for the vibrating motor please (UK).cheers

[@jamesg7891]

Hi Matt, this video is great but i cant seem to get the motor without paying £1000 to ship from US. Has anyone, or could you, suggest an alternative? Ive got a reciprocal saw lined up but would prefer table.. MT, James

[@ukonlineoffer5947]

Hi Matt, thanks for the video and great design. It seems that the recommended motor is now hard to find in the UK. Do you know an alternative place to buy the motor? Thanks

Concrete vibrating table

[@nathanbull7790]

Bit late to the party, but is it quieter when you have it loaded?

[@mabifimasenya3649]

Hi, give me ideas on machen that are being used for mixing oxide for pavement bricks production

[@MattHutton]

Nice :)

[@danwitcombe]

Hi Matt Thanks for this, what mix do you use for worktops and how long do you vibrate for?

[@MattHutton]

Hey Dan, no worries. 40N blue circle high strength. It should be in a link in the description of my other video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpKxqIB8dsmnoas

[@donfrazelle7752]

Question...have you experimented with adding a dimmer switch to control the degree and intensity of the vibration ? Would this improve the dispersion of the air bubbles while reducing the aggregate from settling to the bottom ?

[@MattHutton]

I haven’t, but that’s a good idea for experiencing :)

[@donfrazelle7752]

@@MattHutton OK. Thx for your reply. Might be interesting for you to do 2 test panels, say 1/2 meter x 1/2 meter, both same thickness. Same total elapsed time of vibration. One at the single speed the whole, the other using the dimmer & start 25% of time slow, then 50% at full speed then finish the back 25% on low. The post the results via video ! 👍

[@stevelaude5704]

How long do you vibrate the concrete for

[@MattHutton]

It depends how big the piece is. For something like 1m x 1m x 4cm, if you’re using the table around 2-3 minutes continuously. With and SDS drill about 20 minutes around all the edges. 2m x 1m x 4cm, around 3-5 minutes on the table until much fewer bubbles come up to the top and pop. You don’t want to vibrate it too much though as you’ll have all the aggregate sitting at the bottom. Just enough to get rid of most of the bubble abs give you a nice smooth top face.

Would a poker not work? Just cos I already have one that's all 😂
