Hi
I'm going to make my own welding table/trolly. I have and ESAB Buddy TIG and a mini Argon bottle from Energas.
What I want to do is make like a wooden cabinet trolly with opening doors etc with a slab of steel (approx 600x800mm) on top as the welding table. The TIG unit, cables and gas would all reside in the trolly one way or another and the trolly would be on locking wheels/castors.
One question is whether there's a safety benefit from making the whole thing out of steel for earthing purposes. I'm very cautious when learning new stuff like this and don't want to take any avoidable risks.
I'm only going to be welding box section stainless if that's relevant.
Any suggestions/comments welcome.
