Harbor Freight Titanium welding table inspection and review

Way to give an honest review with realistic expectations added. I appreciate the down to earth way you came across. You didn’t insult the table for it being built to a price point and that is respectable. Bravo sir 👍🏻

i may pick up one of these sometime in the future . i made a welding table about 35 years ago that was made from a 2 piece centrifugal mold (called a Chill) . it was too thin to keep as a mold . 3 inches thick and 42 inches in diameter, with a 6 in hole in the middle (where the molten metal was pored in) was a great cutting and welding table (milled flat on both sides) but if didnt have very many holes for hold downs. sold it at my dads estate sale as i didnt need anything that HEAVY , had to use a loader to stand it up and i made it a little tall. frame was 4 in sq tube and angle iron great review

Thank you so much for this review! I've been eyeballing these, but really wasn't sure. I appreciate what you do!!!

Man, you put this out there day after I get the smaller harbor freight table.😂 regardless, I’m still learning and it’s definitely an upgrade over my sheet metal on top of a wooden table. Appreciate the video!

I cut a piece of plywood for a shelf on the lower cross bar

If the top is a good solid top I wouldn't mind using it to make a slide out top for the back of my welding bed for field use.

I think those stop things are actually strap clamps. Stack up those spacers and drop a bolt through the round end through the risers and leave it loose. Then drop a Bolt through the slot and screw it to one of the nuts. (with a part under the far end.) Machinists use this type of clamp all the time for milling tables etc...

I 'm aiming for auch a 3d-table one have to weld up yourself. My recent table made of square pipes has some severe downsides. I drilled a holepattern in for better fixture but alteady managed to bend it out of shape due to some excessive heat from welding thick stuff. But this table looks really handy, thanks for reviewing !

these look like a good choice for a hobbyist I have one of the cheap harbor freight one's this top even twice the price is still worth it considering you can attach different jigs to

Very cool, I wish I had the space. The holes and ability to clamp would be awesome. Years ago when I had the garage built, I had the local steel yard bend me an 8 foot sheet of 3/16 plate for my bench. ( back when steel was way cheaper ). I’m a little primitive when it comes to fabrication, I find a flat spot on the floor for tacking things up, then move the piece to the bench or the hydraulic lift table ( harbor freight ) to weld it up. I try to be as comfortable as possible to run my welds or they look like poo. Good review, thanks.

I had the cheap H/F as a portable. Gave it to a friend when we sold house. I thought I would not need a table while helping the in-laws out and looking for a new place. It has turned into 2 years and still can’t find property to build on. I just picked up one of these to help fix things make small things to pass the time when not running back and forth from Ky to Ga looking for property. For the money this is a pretty good table. Just the drill bit to do the holes is about the cost of the table. Let alone the mag. Drill . If you use them as intended they are fine. Also it takes about 10/15 minutes tops to put together and 5 of that is getting the oil to a minimum.

After assembly you think welding it up at all connected points would be a benefit? thanks for the review, had my eye on it for a bit but my local "Horrible Fate" they can't keep them in stock, management told me they are a hot seller here.

I couldn't find the HF table in stock, I ended up getting the Vevor rolling table for 90 bucks. Now, I just need to find some fixtures and clamps for a reasonable price

Greg I made my own table like this from 1/4 plate , it works well, not perflectly flat but better than this one. I used my mag drill and a 5/8 anular cutter with a template and drilled the holes. If I had the money I would buy a Siglund 4 by 8 foot they cost $ 5000.00 but cerified flat every where.

I think we get too wound up about “flatness” when in comes to welding/fixture tables. Any kind of welding heat will likely tweak joints to a small degree even if fixed in place.

Has anyone laid another table on top and matched up the holes to make it twice as thick, then bolt together

That's a decent table, for the money, no question. The only thing I have to add is that the Klutch accessories are not completely compatible with the Titanium table- I believe the Titanium holes on the table are American (Imperial) measured, whereas the Klutch is metric- so the clamps will work one way but probably not the other. I'm not saying this from personal experience- I saw this on another YouTube comparing the 2 tables.

Where can I just get that Harbor Freight clamp kit?

What thickness of metal would you recommend for a welding table?

I appreciate this review. My local stores have also been out of stock and unwilling to sell me one of future stock. They have hundreds of floor models but won't sell any. ANYWAY... I think with that tolerance I'm better off planning my own build or even just buying a small certiflat which can be had for under $300, top only!
