Welding Bench
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm thinking about building a welding bench, having spoken to my metal supplier the thickest sheet steel they can get is 5mm, given a 2"x2" lattice underneath do you reckon this will be thick enough?

Sounds more than thick enough to me.

5mm is very strong so with bracing under it, yes it will be fine

Cheers guys.

I made a welding bench from 25mm OD alu tubing.

Wanted to do all stainless, but that was too expensive. The Alu was cheap, and I wanted to practise Alu welding ( which Im crap at, and still crap at )

What a nightmare that was !! but it came out alright in the end, and I added a stainloess shelf on the bottom, where the TIG can sit, and another shelf up top for welding on.

Ideally I still need to make a platform for teh Argon bottle to sit on too.

Made it with wheels/castors at one end, so it can be moved, but there is that much crap in my garage....I can barely find room to move the bottle letalone an entire table

I had pics somewhere......dunno where

9.85 @ 145mph

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Pic before I got the stainless surfaces ( they were expensive ), just bought an 8x4 sheet of 1.5mm and cut it to size, and kept the rest fo spare.

Here's where I'm at so far:



5mm with a 25mm box lattice underneath.

That looks like a work mate to me...
