Are the panels magnetic?

Yes. Unlike wood, aluminum, or stainless steel panels, our powder coated steel panels are fully magnetic. You can use magnetic tool holders, magnetic trays, magnetic hooks, and anything else with a magnet right alongside our purpose-built hooks and bins. It gives you more flexibility for organizing than any peg-style system.

Can I powder coat or paint the panels a different color?

They ship in textured black, which is our standard powder coat finish. If you need a different color for your facility (safety yellow for OSHA visibility, for example), we can discuss custom powder coating for larger orders. For one-offs, the panels take paint well if you want to customize them on-site. Just scuff the surface,Continue reading “Can I powder coat or paint the panels a different color?”

Why would I want a stainless steel welding table instead of carbon steel?

Cross-contamination. If you’re welding stainless steel or aluminum parts, working on a carbon steel table can introduce iron particles into your weldment. That causes corrosion, discoloration, and can fail quality inspections. A 304 stainless surface eliminates that risk entirely. Stainless also won’t rust, which is a plus if your shop has any moisture exposure. TheContinue reading “Why would I want a stainless steel welding table instead of carbon steel?”

What grade of stainless steel are the tables made from?

304 stainless steel. It’s the most common austenitic stainless grade and the right choice for a fabrication surface. It’s corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and won’t contaminate your stainless or aluminum workpieces. We get asked a lot if it’s OK to build 316 stainless parts on a 304 surface. The answer is yes. Both 304 andContinue reading “What grade of stainless steel are the tables made from?”

What sizes are stainless steel welding tables available in?

We build seven sizes: 30×60, 30×80, 40×40, 40×80, 40×100, 50×50, and 50×100. That covers everything from a compact bench-size table for small parts work up to a full production surface. All tops are 1/4″ thick 304 stainless with 5/8″ holes on 2″ centers covering the entire surface, including the sidewalls. The standard working height isContinue reading “What sizes are stainless steel welding tables available in?”

Can I use magnetic clamps on a stainless steel welding table?

No. That’s the one trade-off with stainless. 304 stainless steel is non-magnetic, so magnetic clamps, squares, and fixtures won’t stick. All of our mechanical fixturing works fine though. Our holes are sized for standard 5/8″ / 16mm tooling on 2″ centers, so you can use any bolt-through clamps, stops, jigs, and fab squares. If youContinue reading “Can I use magnetic clamps on a stainless steel welding table?”

Do the stainless tables have the same hole pattern as your carbon steel tables?

Exactly the same. 5/8″ holes on 2″ centers across the entire top surface and sidewalls. The stainless tables use the same designs as our carbon steel line, just built from 304 stainless. That means all of our standard accessories, extensions, vise mounts, and fab squares are compatible. The legs and cross braces also have theContinue reading “Do the stainless tables have the same hole pattern as your carbon steel tables?”

Can I build 316 stainless parts on a 304 stainless table?

Yes. 304 and 316 are both austenitic stainless steels. Sharing the same work surface is standard industry practice. The key is maintaining the table properly and keeping carbon steel tools, fixtures, and debris off the surface. As long as you’re not introducing carbon steel contamination, building 316 parts on a 304 table is perfectly fineContinue reading “Can I build 316 stainless parts on a 304 stainless table?”

Are these the same build quality as your carbon steel welding tables?

Identical construction process. The same interlocking rib design, the same precision laser-cut components, the same build method where we bolt the top to a milled reference surface before welding the substructure. The only differences are the material (304 stainless instead of A572-50 carbon steel), the top thickness (1/4″ standard on stainless), and the fact thatContinue reading “Are these the same build quality as your carbon steel welding tables?”

What’s the difference between a steel workbench and a wood or composite workbench?

Wood tops dent, splinter, soak up oil, and eventually sag under heavy loads. MDF and particle board are even worse. Our steel workbenches use A572-50 plate steel that won’t warp, rot, or absorb chemicals. You can drop a transmission on it, clamp a vise to it, grind on it, and it’ll be the same benchContinue reading “What’s the difference between a steel workbench and a wood or composite workbench?”

Can I connect workbenches together or add accessories?

That’s one of the best features of these benches. Every workbench has laser-cut holes throughout the tubular legs and cross bracing that use the same hole spacing as all of our welding and fabrication tables. That means any of our welding table components (vise mounts, fab squares, extensions) can be bolted directly to the workbench.Continue reading “Can I connect workbenches together or add accessories?”
