7 month review - Langmuir Systems ArcFlat 24"x36"x3/8 thick Cast Iron Welding Tables and clamp racks

7 Month review of the Langmuir Systems ArcFlat 24"x36"x3/8 thick Cast Iron Welding Tables. Why a 7 month review? Cuz everybody does a 6 month review. Check out the table mounted clamp racks and under table shelves. Would I buy another table? Dang Skippy! Watch and find out why,

I have seen these tables and love them

[@richardherbert3781]

I love what you have done with those tables. I have the 3x2 as well. Can you show me how you added the lower shelf and where you got the clamp rack from?

[@giterbilt5146]

Hi Richard, this is the Amazon link to the racks www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHZ9XLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews. At 4:15 in the video shows the 1x2x.188 tubing layout. Once I squared two legs to the table I measured the distance and cut the tubing to size. When I had the tubing fitted on the 3’ sides of the table tacked in place, I squared those planes to the table and measured and cut the tubing for the 2’ sides. Once all the tubing for the shelf was in place I finished the welding. For the layout of the mesh shelves I made a two piece cardboard template that fit within within the layout of the shelf tubing. To get a tight fit the two cardboard templates were cut as mirror image of each other and overlapped in the middle. They were then taped together to make a one piece template that was used to mark the size on the 16 gauge expanded metal.

What brand of Clamps & blocks did you go with? My Arcflat is on its way

[@giterbilt5146]

Hi Dustin, I made the clamps out of 5/8 inch bolts welded to Harbor Freight clamps. There are multiple videos on how to cut the clamp and weld on the bolt. The 1-2-3 and 2-4-6 blocks I got on Amazon.

Do you have a link for the tool racks you bought on Amazon?

[@giterbilt5146]

Here’s ya link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHZ9XLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@giterbilt5146 Thanks! I just ordered the table.

[@greenAbbot]

If you don't mind my asking, where are you located?

[@viking8781]

Man, right now im bedating on if the leg issues are worth dealing with for the sale. 4 of these right now for $2k

[@giterbilt5146]

That’s a heck of a deal! The legs are free. I’m sure they corrected the problem that I had. All the other reviews of these table do not mention it. The tables @ $500 alone are worth it. Hard to find a 4’x6’ cast iron table setup for $2K.

[@melgross]

Im surprised at how the legs are attached. I would have expected the table to have countersunk holes on top with screws the went into the top plate of the legs. This seems really chintzy. I see that Primeweld has new tables that look better.
I’ve seen videos showing a small nut welded to the bottom of the table for the kegs. Maybe they’ve fixed that. It was a real issue.

[@giterbilt5146]

There are 4 counter sunk holes on the top for each leg. The Allen head bolts are flush with the table top. Two of the four counter sunk bolts are shown at 1:29 in the video.

[@Freetheworldnow]

Is it flat?

[@giterbilt5146]

Oh yeah, as I mention in the video it is flat to +- 0.010. These are really good tables.

[@stevencolbert2304]

Johnson's or Min-wax furniture wax works great for long term corrosion protection on cast iron.

[@T0tenkampf]

yep, thats what I use on my woodworking tools
