Welding Table Overview Video
Welding Table Description
Texas Metal Works offers fully fabricated tables shipped FREE – saving you time, hassle, and money! Our 50″ x 100″ welding table is big enough to fit a full 4’x8′ project, with room to spare for fixturing.
The surface is a true 50″ wide and 100″ long, and the 8″ sidewalls allow for additional fixturing outside of the table dimensions. For even MORE room, you can always add one or more of our welding table extensions. That makes it possible to increase the work surface to an astonishing 60″ x 120″!

Welding Table Components
Complete tables are built from dozens of laser cut parts, which is just one key component to the overall accuracy of the finished product. Sure, our CNC machines can maintain accuracy to within .002″, but let’s face it – a stack of parts isn’t going to perfectly fabricate itself!

Welding Table Construction
Read our full article: How We Build Super Flat Welding Tables
The strength of a Texas Metal Works weld table comes from the interlocking series of ribs supporting the surface. These precision cut ribs lock together and also interlock with the table surface.

As you might guess, fabricating a huge table with precision requires extraordinary effort and a lot of practice. But we also augment our fabricator’s experience with the best tools available. In addition to using 142 bolts, 132 feet of threaded rod, 63 fixturing plates and making hundreds welds – we also fabricate all of our table on a heavy duty milled reference surface!
You can read a complete discussion of our welding table build process here, but the short version is that we start out by securely bolting every table top directly to a precision milled surface.

Only after securing the top to a reference surface do we add the ribs and sidewalls and secure them by bolting everything firmly in place before locking it in with hundreds of weld points.

At the end of the day, we’re not happy until we can lay a level across the surface and visually verify that there is almost no (or none whatsoever) daylight peeking through.

Notes on Shipping
As you can imagine, these massive tables can be a little challenging to ship and receive. When we ship any of our tables the carriers require us to put them on a pallet. But normal pallets won’t work, so we manufacture custom pallets specifically for shipping these bad boys.
Each table is bolted directly to a custom pallet with heavy-duty hex head screws to ensure it stays put during transport. If you choose the option with casters or purchase accessories, they’ll be placed in a box and safely strapped to the pallet.

Blue heat shrink wrap is used to protect the tabletop against dust and water. It also serves as the perfect visual indicator of topside damage resulting from delivery. We encourage customers to fully inspect their tables upon delivery and before signing the trucking company’s Bill of Laden.
Pallets are loaded onto a truck at our dock via forklift, and we use long fork extensions to put them in the truck. Shipping companies only carry a small pallet jack on the truck, and those jacks can reposition many of our tables up to our 40×80 size. Larger tables can’t easily be moved via pallet jack. So on the receiving end, it’s going to require a similar setup for unloading purposes. Please note: If you don’t have a forklift, you’ll need to purchase optional Liftgate Services.
At a bare minimum, you’ll need 48″ forks to lift the table out of the truck. For our 40×80 or larger tables, we recommend 72″ or 84″ fork extensions. Amazon sells a bunch of extensions in case you need them. We’ve used these 72″ fork extensions to get the job done, and these 84″ fork extensions work even better. When buying forklift extensions pay particular attention to the width of your forks to make sure you get the right size!
If you can get heavier-duty fork extensions we HIGHLY recommend it! Especially if you order your table along with several accessories that will ship on top. The tables plus accessories can often exceed 1,000 pounds, and the light-duty extensions may flex or bend. Please contact us if you have any concerns about receiving, or if we need to make special plans to get things delivered safely!
Lift Gate Not Available
A forklift and/or dock is required for delivery. Most liftgates can handle freight that is equal to or less than 96 inches wide, and 48 inches deep. The weight limit on a standard liftgate is 2500 lbs. Sadly, this table cannot be safely lowered to the ground via liftgate. That said, customers without a forklift or dock will need to identify an alternative means of delivery.
Many of our customers rent a 6×12 Utility Trailer with Ramp from UHaul and transport it to their home/business. Typically, customers will arrange to pick up at the local LTL terminal or ship to neighborhood suppliers (like gas companies). Once there, the supplier can use their forklift to unload the table and the customer can quickly install casters and transfer the table to a utility trailer with a ramp. Upon arrival, the table can safely be rolled off the trailer’s ramp and into their facility!

I received my table last and was completely blown away! I’m a relatively new business and have had to deal with different businesses and contractors. Texas metal works has by far been the best! Communication through the whole process was excellent and questions I had were always answered.

Very impressed with the grid under the top to keep the table rigid.

This was our 3rd table from Texas Metal Works. We love it!

I ordered the 50×100 table and received it in great condition. The table is solid and extremely flat. I have been using it for about 4 weeks and it has changed how accurate I can be and is much more efficient than welding on a sheet table. I also ordered fixtures tools and am loving the quality of those as well. I have left reviews on Google and Facebook and will be Happy to suggest Texas Metal Works to anyone who needs a high quality fixture table and is also on a budget.

Great work, delivered way ahead of schedule – bravo!

I love this table! great design and ability to change and use for different jobs and set ups. Wish I had sooner but happy to have now. Makes my welding jobs so much more accurate and easier to set up with with the accessories you provide to go with it. Solid enough that when I stand on it, there is NO movement and easier to move around when needed then a 2000lbs cast iron table.
I also appreciate Kirk taking the time to answer all my questions before ordering and recommending I get your newer design with the 16mm holes for future tooling needs. Appreciate grid pattern cut into top of table for ease of setup. After a few phone calls and and Q&A, I knew I wanted your table and not some of the others out there on the market. Your design is best for my needs and use.
The negative issues that will follow on some of your items are for learning and to hopefully to improve upon. I will definitely be ordering more items from you as this table is the best tool in my shop. And if I can help you improve your tooling and learning curve, that will eventually help me be a better welder, artist and fabricator.

Can we give a hundred stars?
There has rarely been a work of art as functional as our 4’ x 8’ welding table. Have you ever thought, “Where has all the craftsmanship gone in the world?” Well, it settled at Texas Metal Works. We love the table for its strength, utility and precision. We can’t wait to accessorize!
If you’re looking for a precision metalworking table backed by unparalleled service, we highly recommend Texas Metal Works.

When received the table had sections with deep gouges in the top. Fortunately, these were located in areas that did not affect fir form or function of the table.

Table arrived in great condition. Johnny was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, making sure everything was handled logistically and that we had everything we needed to safely offload the table. The build quality is phenomenal and has definitely elevated my fabrication work. Not only does it help tremendously with welding, but it’s also perfect for cutting — I can mount my saw, clamp down a stop at the end, and fly through repeat cuts with ease. I truly wish I had made this purchase much sooner.

This is the second fixture table I have purchased from TMW over the past few years. Quality and functionality are phenomenal. Quantified a 30% increase in production time and the quality of our racks increased greatly. Also far easier to teach new folks how to square/frame out assemblies and less wasted steel for bracing and squaring up/fighting warpage.

accurate and flat, good quality.
