I have a 3/4" thick steel plate that is 3/4" thick. It is bowed in the

realistically do it, if at all.

A followup: We straightened it with a hydraulic jack and chain. Welded
three 6x3 steel channels underneath to keep it straight, using jack as
each support was welded. Right now, the worst un-straightness across
the whole table, is no more than thickness of one credit card.

Wow! That's one helluva table, Ig. Congrats on your success.


Thanks Larry.

5x10 feet, 3/4" top, six legs, pretty nice table.

Is this for you or for sale as a welding table? What's she weigh?


For sale. I did not weigh it. Maybe 2,000 lbs.

You'll likely make as much moving it as the sale nets you.
Or do you do rigging of your own sales?
