Ultimate Folding Plasma / Welding Table with Slag Funnel (34” x 48” into 2”)

[@stephenormsby3662]

Slashing that square tubing is genius. Thanks for posting.

[@HouseofChop]

Square tubing might be the best material to have on hand. The solution to the problem usually hides in it somewhere. Stoked you got something out of the video

[@j.w.perkins6004]

Very cool build! I want one...waaa! Also, I love the music..Great video. Thx

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you! I seriously appreciate the generous words. Tough to find these days 😁🙌🏼

[@JayHutchG]

Really slick project chop man. Love the creativity. I'm building a smaller cutting station at the end of my CertiFlat 4' x 4' table. However I am lazy, so I'm using a removable water tray to catch slag and douse sparks. Yours is much more creative and well . . . cool. kudos.

[@HouseofChop]

Seriously appreciate the generous words. There is certainly more than one way to get this stuff done. A water table is a great solution. Good luck 🙌🏼

[@АНДРЕЙСИБИРЯК-л5э]

Hello from Russia. You are a very good master and your head is working 100 percent. I liked that everything is compact and thought out.

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. It was a fun and challenging problem to solve. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@williambanas2831]

Great idea for those of us with limited shop space. On my to-do list.

[@Pedro-au55]

I’ve looked at quit a few videos and yours is the simplest and best I have seen, thank you.

[@HouseofChop]

Your welcome. Definitely an easy build and to this day I still use it all the time. Anytime I’m sanding and cutting plasma or otherwise I do it over the table. Keeps the mess right in the bucket. Good luck

[@TheRealSuperK]

I also like that it acts as an out feed table for larger sheet work. Love this table set up with one addition: When I build this table for my shop, I'll be adding holes at the ends of each of the replaceable cutting supports, you call them slats @2:40, and a retaining rod to go inside the length of the square tube they are mounted in. One 1/4" or 3/8" pencil rod with threads on each end passing through the open end of the hinged square tube and through each of the support slats will be keep or retain them in the square tube cutout slots until you want to replace them. No falling out issues when the table is moved or bumped when in the down position either. Thumbs up for sure!

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you! That sounds awesome. Would be a great upgrade. I like the way you solved it too. Clean and simple 🙌🏼

[@jamin__]

great idea! that build is very close to what I need…. a very nice extension to a welding table that one can fold. 😎

[@brucepugsley8115]

What a great welding and plasm cutting combo table. Saved to possible build myself when I’m comfortable with my welding skills.

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. It’s worked out great. After you have the basics covered give it a shot. It’s a great welding project

Marshall Collins Thank you. It definitely serves its need and is out if the way the rest of the time. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@petermarsh4993]

Dear Phil, very nice concept with a sturdy and level plasma table that cleans up after itself and it all packs away into a slim package. Good thinking. It’s funny how things go. I added some side-wings to my radial arm saw and had difficulty conceptualising how to support the wings which can swing down out of the way when not in use. Your long bi-fold hinge may be just the answer. Well done.

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you I appreciate the generous words. The idea I stuck to with this build was sturdy but as light and tight as possible. The hinges work well. They could use some stops so they can fold in the wrong direction but otherwise have held up to all I’ve thrown at them and I’ve put some beefy stuff on it.

[@petermarsh4993]

Sometimes our first iteration is the best. Cheers.

[@pacheco464]

[@jakefriesenjake]

I saw a different video where the table folds down, like yours. And another video with a metal funnel, but didn't fold away. And another video with a bucket, and funnel but no water in the bucket. I want to make a plasma table, so I was going to put them all together. Then I saw your vid! Nice! But before I saw your vid, I already ditched the metal funnel idea and thought of making a cheap funnel out of a large welding blanket. It collapses even faster a is really cheap to buy. So I don't know anymore lol

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Nice, gonna have to do this with a combo fixturing table, it will be perfect for my tig/plasma combo.

[@markengineeringSA]

awesome build chop , like that built slot into the tube idea ,clever .Also that DIABLO blade cuts like butter

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you the idea was to keep the table as light as possible and still be strong. The slots seemed to be the best way to serve both ends. That diablo blade is a beast!!! It’s still going strong 🔥👍🏼🔥
