Welding.
Is there a welding sequence for the table that minimizes distortion? I plan on using a smaller flux core mig (not too much heat) - but I am still concerned about keeping the table square while welding and would like to know if there's any proven methods.

I bolted my wood table on , before I welded mine out, did not move. I just skipped side to side.Just tack it up good, then bolt your spoil board down, then weld it out but make sure it is square and level.

Yes, there is a sequence. Its in the plan & in many of the building threads.

I see a sequence for welding the gantry spider, but if you could be more specific to the exact page of the plans where I can see a sequence for the table.

It is actually detail here in the forum. The forum numbering is the same as the plans on purpose. This is the online manual. |
That is not the table..
|
The stationary table itself does not need, or have, a welding sequence. The final stiffening of the table is the spoil board. Rails are aligned with shims.

Thanks Gerald.

...my apologies, I didn't fully realize it was the table portion you were asking about.
