I love it! My friends all laughed at me when I told them that I use an old Craftsman cast iron table saw for a welding table, and I have emailed them links to your video. To my friends, "In your face!" Your clamping ideas are good, I'm going to try them.

Ingenious! I'm not going to lie, the instant I saw that you were going to cannibalize a cast iron topped table saw, I got a bit grumpy but you've won me over with your ingenuity and the willingness to use all of the parts and not just scavenge the top.

I chuckled when I saw the saw! I have been using my Craftsman table saw top (identical to this one) as a flat welding table for years. I didn’t take it off the stand but reinforced that to keep it more ridged. Yes you do have to keep it clean or you have some small barbecues! I would like to see a belt sander made too.

For someone who is just getting their feet wet with welding, or when space is limited, this is a sound and reasonable way to make a welding deck on a budget. Nicely done!

Another idea: 1 inch thick particle board with sheet metal on top. Not very clampable and can burn if your weld is too hot, but has done the job for me for many years.

Awesome repurpose. People sometimes do not know what they throw away or get rid off. The older equipment is much better then newer ones, more solid. I've come across a lot of good stuff I have repurposed in so many ways, so this video is right up my alley. But this is an awesome way to make a welding table. I just started welding and came across this video. You grabbed my attention by the build under $30 title, I thought you were going to use some thick ply and cover it with a sheet metal, even doing that can be expensive when you purchase raw materials.

@francoisbouvier7861 10 ай бұрын

Not sure if the old stuff is necessarily better. I'll definitely vouch that it's heavier. Usually a plus. Found my last cast top saw at the garbage transfer station. That'll make four as now, highest $= $30. Router table, designated tenon cutter for log rails/furniture.
