WARNING
Suggestion of what you will need
Note - this assembly guide is merely a recommendation and should not be followed blindly, if you do not have the equipment or the experience necessary to complete this project you should consider seeking advice from a professional.
2pcs x 1000mm of M10 or M12 threaded rod
4pcs x 700mm of M10 or M12 threaded rod
18pcs x 150mm of M10 or M12 threaded rod
48pcs of nuts to match threaded rod
96pcs at washers to prevent damage to the table surface
‘G’ Clamps (or alternative) with an opening of at least 100mm to secure the legs in place during welding.
Timber planks to assist in raising the table surface off the bench during assembly.
MIG or TIG welder
Angle grinder tted with a ne ap disc
Soft face hammer to help assemble components
Engineers le, spanners or shifting spanners
it is heavy and help should be obtained to avoid any injuries. Always remember to wear the appropriate PPE when working with metal and welding equipment. Refer to your welder manufacturers recommendations for the correct settings for your welder to suit the material thickness.
NOTE: You may consider to use other methods and tools to help complete your project, the above list is just a sugges-
tion. For example, a small amount of threaded rod can be welded onto the end of solid steel bar rather than buying full lengths of threaded rod which can save a signicant amount of cost. Please ensure you thoroughly read through these
instructions carefully before starting the assembly process to ensure you fully understand every aspect of the build to ensure a successful outcome.
Before starting the assembly ensure you have the correct tools & equipment to successfully assemble the table whilst making sure you are wearing the appropriate Safety PPE.
Check for Burrs
It is normal for the components to have small burrs or minor imperfections as part of the laser cutting process. While wearing protective gloves, check the edges of the individual pieces and visually inspect them for any small burrs.
If you do happen to nd one, use a le to remove any burrs, being careful not to remove too much excess material as
it may affect the end result.
Clean Components
The components are supplied with a thin layer rust preventative oil coating to protect it from rust, however, this lm
can affect the quality of the welds if it isn’t removed. Before you start assembling the table, ensure you wipe the individual pieces down with an appropriate oil & grease remover.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
Place the tabletop on top of timber planks or, alternatively, sawhorses. It is best to have the timbers spaced evenly to distribute the weight evenly and reduce distortion during assembly. Ensure the tabletop is level and doesn’t rock from side to side, this will help ensure the
components t together correctly.
Step 1
Insert the ribs into the underside of the
tabletop as shown, they should t together rmly with only a small
amount of clearance between the components. Use a soft-face hammer to lightly tap the components
into place. If they do not t correctly the rst time, be sure to check for any
small burrs and then try again.
Step 2
Add the next 2 ribs, (Part 5)
Step 3
This step will require some temporary clamps or tie downs to help hold all the pieces in place, This will help to square
up the sides of the table and t each
piece into the correct positions.
Add (Parts 2 & 3)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
Step 4
With the assistance of a second person begin to install 2 opposing table sides, use several pieces of the threaded rod to hold the opposing piece in place during the process. Add the next 2 op­posing sides, also using the threaded rod to hold the pieces in place. Ensure the nuts on the threaded rod are only tightened just enough to hold the pieces in place & do not over tighten them.
Step 5
Install corner plates (Part 6) into each corner, use a soft face hammer to lightly tap components into place to ensure they are correctly seated.
Step 6
Insert the threaded rods into the table in both holes of the leg plates and make sure they line up with the corresponding holes on the table top. This is perhaps the most crucial step of the construction, this will make sure the table is perfectly square. (Make sure you place washers in between the nut and the table to protect the metal from scratches)

Step 7
To aid in assembly, your welding table
comes supplied with 5 pieces of pre-drilled at bar assembly straps
to span across the webbing rib joins on the underside of the table. Use the threaded bar or long bolts with the assembly straps to secure the ribs to the tabletop. Ensure you do not overtighten the bolts, otherwise, uneven forces are applied to different parts of the table, which can lead to twisting of the table and a less than
desirable nal result.
Step 8
Tighten the nuts over threaded rod or bolts, the assembly straps should be secure and tight, to check this there should be no gaps between the table and the webbing ribs, With the help
of a small ashlight, you can check if
there are any gaps between the under­side of the table surface and the webbing ribs to ensure they are secured correctly, there should be no gaps between the tabletop and the ribs.
Step 9
With the assistance of lifting equipment, carefully turn the table over so that the table surface is upright, and ensure the welding table is placed
on a at, level surface. Before doing any welding, check the atness with a
builders level or straight edge. There should be no gaps between the tabletop and the ribs. If there are any gaps the most likely cause is a small burr, or the bolts have not been tightened correctly. If this is the case, disassemble remove the burr and reassemble. Once again, ensure you do not overtighten the bolts, otherwise uneven forces are applied to different parts of the table, which can lead to a twisting of the table, leading to a less
than desirable nal result.

carefully turn the table over, weld the areas highlighted in red in the sequence as indicated, and weld with a spiral motion so that the two pieces fuse together correctly. Less is more when welding this table together.
More welding means more heat and
higher chances of warping the table surface.

Step 13
With the assistance of lifting equipment, carefully turn the table over so that the table surface is upright, and ensure the welding table is placed on a
at, level surface.
Start welding at 1 and work your way
towards 7 on the outside of the table.
Step 14
The 50 x 50mm steel legs come standard with adjustable feet tted,
plus we also supply caster mounting plates. Should you want your welding table to be mobile, simply cut the legs
to the desired length to suit the nished
table height you require, allowing for the height of the caster wheels. Weld on the caster mounting plates as shown & bolt on your optional caster wheels.
Step 15
Once the table has cooled, remove the bolts and assembly straps. Again, with the assistance of lifting equipment, turn the table over with the webbing ribs facing up. Clamp the tube legs into each corner as shown, ensuring the threaded holes are in the correct positions to suit the leg bracing. Lightly clamp the legs into each corner as shown, then bolt the leg bracing into place (do not fully tighten the bolts). Check that the legs are square and level, then proceed to weld as shown.
Once nished welding, tighten the leg
bracing.

Step 16
Make sure when welding the legs that
you do not have the welder too hot as this can blow through the legs, doing tack welds and taking short breaks on each hole will help the legs cool down and to allow the heat not to build up.
Make sure to weld each leg as shown.
The assembly is now complete. With the assistance of lifting equipment, carefully turn the table over, put it in your desired position, and adjust the leveling feet, check all bolts are tighten and components are secure. Your welding table is now ready for use.
