Putting table together

I finally had some time working on the table, while welding the side rail cross tube I forgot to leave enough room for the cross beam, Oh well I cut it out and reweld it tomorrow. I also installed some rubber casters for ease of moving around the garage. I can’t wait to get the table done so I can start working on the electronic parts.

Dang, that foul between the cross-support channel and the diagonal brace also caught me originally. Hence this note on drawing 1010310W:


My original "fix" was to cut a piece out of the cross-support. That part of the cross-support does nothing for its strength.

If you cut angles on the ends of the cross rails, as indicated on the drawings, it may well avoid hitting that tube, try that first before cutting the welds loose.

Your both right if I cut the cross beam at an angle there is plenty of room left without hitting the tube. I feel stupid now its a simpy fix why didn't I think of that.

THANKS

Cutting the end angle worked out great still had 1/4 inch gap left.

Kobus,
I add and extra foot just in case I ever decide to add and indexer or tool changer later in the future but didn't realize the gap will be that big though.
