Making The Ultimate Plasma Table / Cart / Station

[@GettinJunkDone]

Keep up the great work Kyle, you are an inspiration to many of us that still have a lot to learn.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks man....just glad I am able to help

[@mikegrady4]

That table is nice.......really nice. I love the replaceable pieces. I was going to make a cutting table out of some walkway grating.....probably just trashed that idea. If I do still make it....the grate is going to be replaceable.....for sure.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah you will burn them up

[@davidwhite9906]

That setup would be perfect for my little metal art projects I do on the side

[@Thefabforums]

for sure

[@NathanNostaw]

With the support strips, the pointy ones, would it not make more sense to have the points alternating/offset alignment? If you do a cut that happens to align with the points you run the risk of burning them all off in that line. Alternating or offset points would only risk burning of ever second and then require replacing less often. CNC laser tables have a mesh that doesn't line up with any straight lines and can be cut to almost nothing before needing replacement.

[@CSSIandAssociate]

looking forward to this evaluation.

[@BenLeBlanc1]

Looks super cool. Make sure when you mount the plasma cutter that you isolate the machine from the metal structure so that the electronics in the cutter don’t fry- they would in a welder, but idk about a plasma cutter.

[@Thefabforums]

good point....I will have to research that

[@nathanchalecki4842]

amazed at the quality of their products..

[@Thefabforums]

yeah they are top notch for sure

[@tomwagemans1872]

A funnel shape on the bottom should make it easier to clean. Now the 4 plates at each corner will collect a lot off the sparks. As always a nice vid. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Belgium.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah those plates hinder it slightly

[@T.Russell3155]

Nice table, not sure i have much use for one, most of the plasma cutting i do is on the car but it looks like they make high quality stuff! Would love to have the welding table!! Another good video!

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@joshh6470]

Just bought one of these in 36 by 48 and am going to use it for a cnc plasma table.

[@Thefabforums]

nice!

[@justin_parks]

Kyle, thank you for the great content you bring to us. I hope you have a merry Christmas but a terrible new year's day night. Roll Tide lol

[@Thefabforums]

lol...back at ya

[@jbrunsonjr]

Another great vid! 👍 Insulate those garage doors!!

[@Thefabforums]

Thanks, Hope to have a new place soon

[@jbrunsonjr]

Everything happens for a reason. The right place will come along soon enough. Let me know if you ever need a camera man! I'd love to swing by and help ya out.

[@sly50gt]

Speaking from experience, i do NOT like the pointed gates.... they are a total pos and a huge issue when trying to plasma cut a small piece... the material does not like to lay flat on them and you are stuck cutting a large plate... if it were non-pointed gates the table would be great for any hobiest though. i really hope they fix that for regular production before they mass produce them. Suggestion, weld a belly to it about 3" deep just under the gates and fill it with distilled water so it helps prevent rust. itll keep a LT of the sparks from bouncing around on the floor of your shop and contain most of the mess. If you make the water pan about 612" under the gates it'll catch it and wont splash back at you as much. another great video like always Kyle, keep up the great work and congrats on all the backers/sponsors to the channel!

[@Thefabforums]

I could see that...I will suggest they offer both styles

[@masterofnonetv8361]

Pull them out and flip them over.

[@jharris280zx]

Just a little tip for anyone who installs casters, if you grease the ball bearings it will roll smoother and quieter. Could just be my OCD.

[@pbmachines972]

you said it Wurth makes door hinge spray grease goes on wet then sets up into grease its great for just that

[@MoFab_Industries]

Dude, your running out of room with all the cool new toys you are getting!

[@luiscarone1774]

I wonder how you can tig weld so clean over the mill scale, I'm having some issues trying to weld over some laser cut plates, if I don't clean my piece and try to tack it, my weld looks terrible.. are you using tungsten rod? or are you tacking only over the expose metal created by the laser cut?

[@Thefabforums]

no mill scale on this stuff. If I had to guess its P&O

[@TheScaryName]

Well...my plasma table would most def have a catch tray (with optional liquid for reducing the smoke), so theirs might not be "ultimate" yet. Good job, make them add the features missing, dude :)

[@Thefabforums]

yeah working on something now for it

[@riversvic]

I need this Plasma Table for my CNC machine

[@FirstGenDiesel]

I'm sick son, and still working!

[@Thefabforums]

boom

[@pbmachines972]

Dude you had to show me that I'm just gonna start collecting Hummels

[@osralatudopinturas.7803]

Boa tarde Qridao Muito Loooooka sua Oficina de Garagem quando for usar gerenciamento de Injeção e ignicao tudo o que é relacionado a controle para obter grande satisfação em recordes use Fuel Tech 600 engine magnament sistem produto Brasileiro que foi testado e aprovado aí no seu País e vem batendo recordes em todas as pistas Americanas e uso também em Carros de Rua pois é a Mesma injeção. SUCESSO EM SUA EMPREITADA FÁB FÓRUM.

[@romanavila8784]

What gauge is that table made out of brother Kyle?

[@Thefabforums]

Its 1/4 inch plate....the structure underneath it makes feel like 4 inch thick plate though. lol

[@Steve-qs5uy]

Nice set up Kyle where can I get one and how much nice. You come along way I followed you from the beginning good job son

[@Thefabforums]

thanks....they should be available on weldtables.com soon

[@StevenAndrews]

Making the catch out of aluminum so the dross doesn’t stick?

[@Thefabforums]

yeah

[@MrMoosefire]

What size is your garage?

[@Thefabforums]

the setup in this video is around 25 x 35

[@donaldpowers5557]

a slip in flat pan , and a flat top or hinge it to fold on the side or the end of your welding table and fold it up when needed, since you be cramped for space.....this made me think of metal walkway grating...

[@pbmachines972]

dude I wasn't gonna say it but I have a cutting table at work that is just that with legs

[@donaldpowers5557]

PB Machines sometimes at 67 and many years of being poor I think cheap thanks for the reply. Don

[@pbmachines972]

Donald Powers I think we all think a lot alike and starting out poor is good for you makes you strong

[@Ace-yf3xf]

Nice.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@rwells3376]

It's a damned shame they didn't make a solid bottom and sides so you could use it as a water table. I too work out of a small shop and when using the plasma one of my major concerns is catching something on fire. My next table will be a water table, without question.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah I think they are going to offer a pan but it most like wont hold water.

[@rwells3376]

Fab Forums, I have an 8' long welding table, I made it with 1/2"x 6" bar stock, I drilled and tapped holes, in each bar and spaced the bars 1" apart to have additional clamping areas. Below this I have two toolboxes mounted to hold all of my metal tools, but the one thing I didn't take into consideration is how much crap that was going to fall between these spaces. It covered my toolboxes, and migrated into the drawers, what a mess. I finally make a shit tray to go under the work surface, it works but is still a mess and small tools will inevitably fall into it as well. Now this is the second welding table I have built, and although I took care of some of the issues from the first one, I am now left with new issues, the next one will be a certi-flat that I will modify to deal with this. The point is nothing is perfect, but us fabricators just keep trying to make it better, it's a never ending situation.

[@dustybrown2992]

Can’t wait to it in their site.

[@Thefabforums]

should be soon

[@bayouboattrash]

Did you clear coat the tables yet? I remember you mentioning that in the other table video.

[@bayouboattrash]

Nevermind, it was the bibster you were gonna clear coat the bare metal lol.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah will probably do the table as well.

[@robertford1329]

I wouldn't clear coat the table, it will mess with the ground when trying to use it for welding, that is kind of the point with that table, if anything just spray some WD40 on it, you can always wipe that off if need be,

[@robertford1329]

I definitely need a bigger shop LOL

[@Thefabforums]

probably use some sharkhide which wont affect the grounding

[@palewhite]

I still can't believe you're tigging these...

[@Thefabforums]

yeah its just so much cleaner

[@pro1342]

So Drag Week is in your back yard next year. You goin?

[@Thefabforums]

maybe.....will have to take a look at the stops

[@pahrumpauto]

sweet but I need a tig first.

[@Thefabforums]

lol...you can mig them together

[@GarryFullerSr]

Nice looking tables. Not sure what Mr. Skis problem is. You couldn't build one yourself that looks as nice as this and you would spend more money doing it.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah for sure....I plan to make a video soon talking about the point of diminished return

[@ricardoguerra3002]

Damn voss you running out of room

[@Thefabforums]

lol yeah...new shop soon hopefully

[@HavocAdventure]

needs a water tray

[@goyslop4289]

It's not "certified flat" the second a arc or hammer touches it lol

[@chriswhite6882]

Has ur dog ever got his eyes flashed from being in a shop?

[@Thefabforums]

nah she doesnt pay attention

[@JC-un4bg]

If people can't add any thing constructive . Good table could do with a down draft attachment . Im assuming that certi are sending this out for the peopl to add ideas.Time is money why completely make something like this your self that would take 3/4 hours to draw up then pay someone to profile it when you can get it in a kit that you just weld your self half the money and time .

[@Thefabforums]

truth...getting ready to post a video talking about that very thing

[@as.1112]

ياليت لو تترجم كلامك بالعربي علشان نفهم وش انت تقول

[@127069]

lack of spark tray makes it poop

[@Thefabforums]

They have a funnel for it now

[@blaketaylor7025]

First

[@Thefabforums]

boom

[@MrSki-tyvm]

Your a fabricator? But buy 1 of the simplest things to fab. I really can watch your videos no more.

[@Thefabforums]

lol...just because you can doesn't mean you should

[@rwells3376]

Mr. Ski, I too am a fabricator, and I have built two welding tables for myself, but the next one will be purchased from someone like cert-flat. With all things you do in a work environment there is a cost/benefit analysis that must be done, and it is too costly to use your time for something that can be purchased for half the investment. You are better off using your time for the one off, or small run jobs that make it profitable for you. With your thought process, you would say that a plasma cutter is an unneeded expense and that we should use the torch or saws. I hope you see my point, I'm not trying to insult you in any way.

[@michealhiggins6706]

That is a nice table I️ take I️t they are not selling them yet and the guy with the fabricator comment might want to take an English class haters gonna hate super cool videos keep them coming

[@TheScaryName]

It all depends on what you're fabricating doesn't it? We built our own tables as well, but they were like 1.5 x 3 meters (4.5x9 ft) of 10mm (0,4") warm rolled steel sheet on a frame (Yes we wanted the oxidization, as welds tends to not stick to it) . We didn't need 2000 holes in them, because we made mostly gates and doorways and shit...if I needed a table with infinite clamping possibilities I sure as hell wouldn't make it myself.

[@michealhiggins6706]

Can’t works much better but we are getting off topic for what this gentleman is trying show everyone like I said haters gonna hate
