Welding Table set-up and Fit "Certiflat"

I think it's very rigid. They use 3/16 steel. You then tack weld during the build process. once you are sure the cross supports are flat with no light coming through between the table and the supports you finish welding it.
The 2" straps are laser cut, they have little fingers that come up through holes in the table. You weld these to the table and flap grind the filler nice and flat.
I am very impressed with the build quality. Did you watch the video?
The leg kit is made the same way, it has 2 slits in the legs that fit over the table supports so you get plenty of welding joints and the leg cross supports fit into pre-cut notches that weld up good and square/strong!
 
I had a tray made for my table to catch swarf, and MIG splatter. I will have to drop the tray sliders they are too high in the picture. I have to move it to use the fixture holes, but it is working.

 
I’ll say it’s working.
I have been thinking of adding a tray and another shelf.
One thing I like about the table is the working height.
I find most tables to be too low.
I’m 6 feet. Doing dishes and working over a low table, lathe kills my back.

I am on the fence right now. I am considering the 36 x 48. I almost exclusively tig weld. I want to be able to sit and use the foot pedal. So I'm thinkint the leg set makes the table to high. Also I would have to omit the front stretcher so I could pull a seat up to the table and comfortably have my legs under it.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Mike

I built folding legs for mine. No front bar. https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/folding-welding-table.70996/
 
A little labor intensive, but satisfying to build. I have added a 4 plug drop box,a light stand with an LED light, and removable grinding/welding shields, since mine is going to remain in this spot the way my space is "organized", and I use the term loosely.

I have the same table and like it. The cross bars work great for storing clamps. Only problem is it's a great "catch all" to set stuff on so usually covered with junk. Also bought one of their welding positioners in kit form. I got the positioner mostly for tig. I converted it to a motorized version by adding a dc gear motor, pwm speed controller and a three jaw chuck. Heavy parts with good fit and assembly.
 
I saw that, You did a fantastic job. How are you liking it?

Since posting earlier I pulled the trigger. Got an email from them because I had everything in the cart. They took an additional $60 off.I couldnt say no.
Table is great. I would have one of the larger fablBock tables if I had the room. The kit took longer than advertised to put together and get flat but is good and solid once welded up.
