Welding Jig Table

A welding jig or fixture table makes metal fabrication quick and easy. Because the

table top is dead flat it will hold any item clamped to it in prefect position while

welding to eliminate the steel pulling with the excess heat. When used in conjunction

with other custom jigs and fixtures you can make very simple work out of parts that

must be square and straight.

SPECIFCATIONS

Table top: 6mm thick mild steel

Hole sizes: 16.5mm

Under table bracing: 6mm thick mild steel.

Table legs and leg supports: 50 x 50 x 3mm SHS

Feat for legs 75 wide x 75 wide x 6mm thick mild steel plate.

Optional extras

Wheels for table: 5’ or 6’ Heavy duty roller wheels with bearings. Two fixed and two

swivel.

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

Some basic equipment will be needed to fabricate the welding jig table. Here is a list

of basic tools and equipment needed.

WELDER

A ‘Mig Welder’ is the most preferred as it can be used by most novice welders with

the minimum of experience. Another type of welder is the ‘Arc Welder’, this can be

used just as readily but needing more skill and practice to produce clean tidy welds.

Other forms of welding suitable for construction are ‘Tig’ and ‘Gas’ welding (brazing).

The form of welding used depends on what your personally have available and what

your skills are best suited to.

CUT OFF SAW

Ether a grinding type ‘Drop Saw’ or a ‘Power Hacksaw’, or ‘Bandsaw’ may be used.

If either of these are not available a ‘Hand Hacksaw or ‘Angle Grinder’ may be used

with a sturdy vice.

DRILL PRESS

A drill press of 5/8” (16mm) capacity is the more suitable but you may use a hand

power drill either in a drill press stand or on its own.

SQUARES

A large fabrication square, a one meter rule and protractor bevel for marking out and

setting up the frame and angles will be required. A tape measure for measuring tube

lengths.

GENERAL HAND TOOLS

Adjustable spanners, pliers, angle grinders (4” or 5”), socket set, hand files, bench

vice and a sturdy bench will all come in handy.

TIPS ON CONSTUCTING

PURCHASE OF PARTS

CNC laser cut parts

Send your DXF files off to your local CNC laser or CNC plasma cutting business. If

you haven’t had parts CNC cut before I would ask your local engineering metal shop

for recommendations on where to find a CNC cutting business and what their quality

of cut is like. I would recommend using someone with a CNC laser or CNC water jet

cutter cut these parts out as they usually have a lot better tolerances and cut finish

than a CNC plasma machine.

WHEELS

If you would like to add wheels to your table I recommend using 5’ or 6’ solid wheels

with bearings. You will need a wheel that can take at least 75kg each.

Fabrication

Take your time when putting table top together. Check table top is flat before welding

anything.

Welding jig table

All CNC cut parts have tabs and slots. Their is a .5mm tolerance in the tabs and slots so we only

recommend using high quailty CNC machines to cut these parts for you otherwise you will have to do

alot of filing to get parts to fit.

DO NOT weld in corners so legs can fit

Put the four JTPT - 2 parts onto the table using the tabs and slots to aline.

Constantly check every thing is square while tacking together.

DO NOT weld with in 50mm of the corners to allow for table legs.

Fully weld table out once tacked together.

Weld 50mm miss 150mm is a good weld sequence.

Tack weld Leg braces in place. Put braces 250mm up from

the bottom of legs so that if you decide to add wheels later

their will be enough room. Ensure all legs are square by

checking corner to corner diagonal measurements on legs.

Weld on the 75 x 75 x 6 table feat to the legs.
