The Ultimate Welding Table: How to Build a Heavy Duty Work Surface for Your Shop

[@horus2779]

Novice here, the frame for bench top, why do you cut it at a 45° angle and weld it compared with just bumping it against each other and welding it, is it stronger ?

[@woodweld]

Personally, I prefer cutting 45-degree angles whenever possible. I find open ends unappealing, so I try to avoid them. By cutting at 45 degrees, I can usually eliminate the need for end caps. However, having open ends on a welding table can be useful for connecting a ground clamp, so it’s a situation where both options have their benefits.

[@horus2779]

That and a 45° angle creates a larger surface area to weld for a stronger join apparently.

Hello,I have a question Won't Grounding be hard in order to weld on this table while working ?I mean because of the table being painted

[@woodweld]

I have a vise bolted to the table where I usually connect my ground clamp, it works perfectly!

@@woodweld Thank you for this great idea.

Nice! What is the thickness of your steel profiles? 2mm or 3mm?

[@woodweld]

Thank you! I used 3mm for the top crossbars just in case I was going to put something extremely heavy on it and 2mm for the legs and the bottom shelf. The tabletop sheet was 4mm thick.

Glad you liked it! There will be plenty more videos like this to come!

nice job. table size ?

[@woodweld]

Thank you very much! The size is 10x4 foot (300x120 cm) tabletop and the legs are 40 inches (100 cm). I was building this for myself because I'm tall and I wanted a tall workbench so it's perfect!
