Workshop addition - 1" thick welding/work table

(1/7) > >>

Joco:
The welding/work table build is well underway.  It started with getting a 25mm thick section of 250 grade plate steel. Its rough dimensions should allow around 900mm x 1600mm after cleaning up the edges.



As you can see there are some old welds on this side that need to be cut and ground out.  A 230mm angle grinder with cutting wheel made short work of them.


All cleaned up and ready to tackle the edges


First cut made with 100amp plasma cutter.  Way cool fun! But 900mm long cut took some time to get through.


Finished up the two long runs of 1600mm each.


Now for the legs.  These are the blanks, 100mm box section with 6mm walls.


The mounting pads for the castors. 130mm square by 12mm thick mild steel.


TIG welded to the base of the legs. Put on the angle so that the bolts do not interfere with the leg walls.


Making the sub frame for table.  This is the first the "H" ends.


The final assembly of the subframe clamped up and ready for welding.


Next stop will be top.  At 300KG thats going to be entertaining.  Will post pics when done.

Cheers,
James.

Hello James

Not even an earthquake will shift that table

Hi James,
 I agree with Mike.
 "Drop Cover & Hold" earthquake will be no problem, hope the wheels lock!
That's a serious welding table, should last several lifetimes

Cheers Kerrin

Joco:
Here are the castors I'm using.  300KG rated each and locking. Given the weight on things I'm not expecting too much movement.  But if I need to add some M20 all thread retractable feet I can look into that.

Might be easier to move it with a pallet jack after it's complete.
