SIP 05709 Welding Table Opinion

[Rekrab]

Morning all,

I'm new to Welding and have managed to pickup a good deal on a second hand welder. However, I don't have a surface to work on so I've been looking at the SIP 05709 Welding Table.

I can't find any reviews online (Good or Bad), so I wondered if anyone had seen/used one and if it's worth the money.

Thanks in advance.

Seems cheap enough, no idea as to quality, but one thing about learning to weld is having a project to make, where it doesn't matter much if the welds are not so good. surely the ideal project is to make a bench. One length of 50 x 50 box or angle would probably make the frame. Laying beads on plate is all very well, but you can't beat real world welding situations for experience.

I don't know about material costs but might it be worth buying this and then welding the bolted joints as practice.

I built my own out of 40x40x3 mm box with a 6mm steel top, cost around 30 quid for the steel + another 20 for the locking castors.
I think it the table is 1m x1.2 ish I made it to sit at practising tig welding, only thing I do know is that it will still be around long after the SIP jobby has gone in the scrap
I would say get some steel and make your own it will be so much more rewarding

Thanks all, appreciate it.

Yes, I think it'll make a good first project. Now to find somewhere local to buy the steel
