  • A simple, but durable and visually please piece we recently welded together. The plasma table could easily be substituted for a metal cutting saw, a grinder, or by having the pieces sheared at a local metal yard.

    I'm totally with you about fitting the frame to the sheet. But my boss is the other way... and he cuts the checks. so instead of just getting the thing out the door, we spend all this time messing around with the sheet metal. there is the rare project where the dimensions would be so critical it makes sense to go frame first, but our shop does similar work to yours.

    How do you prevent this from rusting out quickly? Standard A 36 steel will quickly rust in the ground, or when in contact with the ground. Paint helps, but when filled with soil, that won’t help for too long. Welds tend to rust even more quickly. I’m talking about a few years, at most. Then it falls apart. For decorative rusting, there are alloys for that that will last for decades.
    Wear welding gloves!. There’s a good reason actual welding pros wear them. The risk of cancer is real.

    Why not order the sheet sheared to dimensions and save your time and consumables? The drop fraction of the sheet can then be loaded into the plasma table upon delivery. Best part is, if the shear operator makes a mistake, it doesn't cost you anything.
