What makes a good welding table?

I'm having trouble picturing what you mean.

I believe he means like the leveling feet you would find on the bottom of metro shelving.

In the case of having casters, just make sure the bolt is longer than the casters are tall so once you've rolled your table to its location you can turn your bolt (foot) out further than the height of the wheel, lifting the table up so it can no longer roll.

Least that is how I read it.

Oh I see. It makes sense now. When I said adjustable table top height, I meant adjustable by several inches at a time. Those level feet sound like a great idea though.

When putting the nut on the outside edge I've tacked a little sleeve of tubing above the nut to protect the threads of the bolt after its passed through. Keeps them usable longer & any splatter off of them too.

Thanks for description of legs.

Put the nut inside the tube in the outside corner so can weld to two adjacent sides. Threads protected since inside tube.

I designed my table differently because its tall & narrow & only two castors positioned on the outside of the legs on one side. It tips & then rolls to its new location just like a hand truck / appliance cart. No futzing with leveling feet or cams.

Though my garage floor is very level to begin with. Ymmv.

However my driveway, not so much. I just use a shim.

Didn't have time for that picture Sunday. Maybe today : )
