A welding table is a steel platform used in metal fabrication with welding, providing stability and assistance with measuring and squaring. It can be used for various jobs and can be built or bought. DIY tables can cost as little as $50, while ready-made ones can cost $199 or more. Modular tables are also available, and accessories such as a steel grate and debris tray can be included. It is important to work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves when constructing a welding table.

A welding table is a waist-level platform that serves as a workbench when completing jobs in metal fabrication with welding. The welding table is useful during this process because it provides a stable area to work from, as well as assistance with measuring and squaring. A welding table typically ranges in size from 20″ x 40″ (50.8 x 101.6 cm) to 6½” x 13″ (16.51 x 33.02 cm). All welding tables, regardless of size, are made of steel that can withstand the rigors of welding.

There are many jobs that one person can do with a welding table. For example, a welding table is versatile enough to be used as a platform for measuring, measuring, and squaring up angles. A welding table can also be used for assembly to bend brakes and jigs.

Often a welding clamp is also attached to the welding table. This allows the welder to hold the work in place. It can also be used to keep cables out of the way when welding.
Many welders choose to build their own welding table. In this way the table can be customized according to personal needs. DIY welding tables can cost as little as $50 US dollars (USD) for basic materials.

When constructing a welding table, it is important to be in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of fumes and gases. The best location to build a welding table is an area where the wind can drive the gases away. Additionally, there is a risk of electric shock when constructing a welding table. Therefore, it is important to wear dry, hole-free leather gloves while working on the construction of the table.

A ready-made welding table can cost $199 or more. The latest trend, however, is the modular welding table. This type of welding table allows multiple tables to be joined together when needed for larger jobs.
The welding table can also include numerous accessories. For example, some include a hot-rolled steel grate. Some also have a drawer-like tray on the underside of the grill to catch any debris that falls during welding.
