I bought a welding table off social media?

I recently purchased a Kovosu welding fixture table after learning about them a year ago on social media. I bought the 150cm x 100cm welding fixture table with 16mm fixturing holes. The table is half inch thick and everything weighed about 900 lbs shipped. I purchased some additional fixtures along with my purchase. Here's my thoughts on the process and my first project to build short carts for my welder and plasma cutter to fit under the table.

It's cool to see that you got such a decent product, especially with all the fixtures as well. The few times I tried welding in a garage on a wood top were fairly disastrous and even getting a 1/4" thick steel sheet to weld on might've given me a slightly better surface to weld on but no ability to actually "fixture" anything. In the end, knowing I wasn't getting much use from my welder and stuff I needed to weld needed this kind of table - well, I sold the welder. Still have that heavy-ass steel sheet though. I will live vicariously through you. Now you need to weld up some more DJ booth frames.

Been watching these tables for a while. looks like a quality table but the lack of information websites is kind of frustrating for sure.

[@noddingat]

Yeah. Talking to them, I was able to get pictures and more details, but it would be nice to be able to see everything clearly up front.

[@kirkkelso8777]

Interested in the table. Can you share what the total cost to your door was.

[@noddingat]

Best to get a hold of them for a quote. I got a bunch of extra fixtures. [e-mail]

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Looks like a nice buy!! 👀 I'd like to get something like that eventually. Great job with the review 🔧

[@noddingat]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm looking forward to the ability to do things that weren't as easy as they are now

[@doncunningham7442]

Does it come with any fixtures with the table or are they all extra

[@noddingat]

It comes with a decent set of fixtures but I added a bunch while I had the chance

[@martinfarrow2825]

I have ordered one of these it’s on its way

[@noddingat]

Congrats!

[@316fabrication]

What did it cost you with that all???? Fixtures and all. What was the total for you

[@noddingat]

In the ballpark of 5k. Get a hold of Kovosu and they'll give you a quote though

[@tdmjason]

Seems nice. Are tou not able to discuss the price?? Say i wanted the same setup. You telling us would help others know if this is a viable option on spending 2k or 5k or ???? I want a nice table but dont want to spend 10k .

Looks like Kovasu instagram page doesn't work anymore

[@noddingat]

@kovosu_weldingtable is up. They've seemed to attract a bunch of competitors that created fake accounts with similar names. That caused me concern til the truck showed up!

All these things are cheaper copies of the Siegmund. 14mm holes? Do you mean 16mm? I’ve never heard of a 14mm table. I can’t imagine why they would do that. 16mm is a standard size. You can get fixtures anywhere. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend a 14mm hole table. Considering that you have to get fixtures overseas, if you need something, you won’t be able to get it right away.

[@noddingat]

Yep, its actually 16mm. I just had the numbers mixed up in my head.

[@joelmcclellan1050]

You’re absolutely right! Cheaper versions of the same quality. I’m not a member of the Starbucks $10 Coffee Club. I’ve seen both and the castings are comparable. You really save in the fixture department. Look it’s like this… our Government isn’t helping out the avg. Joe in this trade war, Section 301 tariffs being levied to so call even-the-playing field. It’s to keep prices your paying artificially high because a company/country mass produces a product to reduce costs. This month the propaganda machine points the dirty finger at the Chinese and embraces the Germans across the pond. Next month it will change and we’ll be smiling eating our rice with chopsticks. The quality is there… the price is right… and they’ve been to the moon.

Lost me at china

[@noddingat]

It was probably 50 percent cheaper than if I'd bought it in the US. Hard to beat
