- Almost half a year ago I ordered a professional heavy duty 3D welding table from a company in China and now that it has finally arrived here, I made this video to show you what a fixture table is, how to use it, how accurate it is and why they are so heavy and expensive.

PRICE: Since this keeps coming up, you can expect to pay around 3k$ for the table I bought, plus around 1.5k for the tooling package, plus shipping, plus tax/customs fee. THESE ARE ROUGH ESTIMATES. You have to realize that this is not an "off the shelf" kind of Item you just put in your shopping cart. Shipping, Tax, Fees, etc. depend HUGELY on your location so there's no fixed number, and there's also many different sizes, surface treatments, sizes, etc. to pick from and they even do custom orders. This is why it's pointless to mention any fixed price, it's going to vary a lot depending on many factors. If you're interested in the product, you can contact Kovosu via DM on Instagram or write them an Email to sales@kovosu.com, tell them what you need and they will give you a quote.
nice! so roughly 2/3 the price of a siegmund. what´s also nice is that the accessories seem to be compatible. So if you ever need some accessories quickly for a project (like larger angle pieces :) you can get those quickly locally. good your are not locked into a proprietary system with this table.
Hi Phil, I really love your videos! And I absolutely like this review of this welding table. I actually requested a price quote. It's insane how many accessoiries you get for the money. I was wondering, you are living in Europe right? Did you had any trouble with paying extra importduties or customstax? I live in the Netherlands. Thank you!
3000 Euros I assume ??

Greetings from Croatia.
Yes, it nearly hurts physically to see that!!
Great video and I have to say that is the best welding table I've ever seen. The versatility and precision is incredible. I hope you have many years of reliable performance with it.
That is a wonderful table to have and use, a perfect dream to any metal worker who is into assembling parts. Congrats on the new possession!
That table is a dream come true what a great, lifetime tool... more like a fine instrument. I salute the manufacturer for his dream and for perfectly executing it. I'm a big fan of carbonitriding. Downside is, it's usually very thin thus can easily dent and furrow reflecting the softer metal beneath it, but it's nearly scratch-proof. So I was anxious when you banged on it. Welding warp is so unpredictable that it will take a long time to learn how to prevent warp. Jer Schmidt has it down pretty good. That table is probably great for building precision cabinets too!
Awesome table; Incredible narrator. Thank you for sharing this "Gem" to us kind Sir.
This is one of the best videos on youtube that i saw on this topic. Really great. Thank you!
What a beautiful table, yes! tooling adds up.no more beating on my table. Cheers from Chicago.
Beautiful table, I also have a small table of this company, this Kovosu Industrial Company is in my province, Guangdong, China
That is a very neat bit of kit, congratulations. I'm sure you will bless the day you bought it. Enjoy.
I am sure you are going to be very happy with this table and your constructions will be even better.
I loved this video. This is my dream welding table - and I don't even have a welder - but now I want one.
Wow, now that’s a beautiful table! You lucky guy hehe. And when I saw you hitting it with the flat bar I was just waiting for you to stop the abuse, you made your point hehe. Congrats on the awesome purchase!
This is really an incredible table, thanks for the introduction to this amazing equipment!
Can't wait to see you put it through it's paces Phil.
I’ve never welded anything but that table amazes me and I wish I had it! Great video!
I'm so impressed with this table.
Very nice table!
Precision projects here we come! 😊
This table is a perfectionist's dream. Incredible table🥰
Another advantage the ball-pins have over threaded holes is precision alignment. Threads intentionally have clearance (play) for them to function, where as a pin can have a very close fit and still function. This means something bolted down can move out of square/straight, where as pins do not allow it to.
Yes true. One of the things I wanted to mention, along with the fact the the bolts are actually surface ground for precision and have O-rings to take out any play, but I felt there was too much talking already so I left some things out
Such a nice welding table. You will be glad you bought it. Thank you for mentioning the price. I was looking in to a welding table from GPPH a company from Poland. But I have to check this one out to.
Congratulations. Can’t wait to see how you use it 👍👍😎👍👍
A very good presentation .I want one now.
It’s crazy how an extra pinch of chromium or a heat treat changes the hardness of steel so dramatically. I don’t own a welding table or even know how to weld but this is fun to watch.
Awesome table and fixures! I'm sure you will enjoy it...I know I would!
Well done Phil, it's a fantastic video. I am going to get this table. I will have my lunch on it till I take on fabrication.
Muito boa essa mesa. Parabéns pela aquisição!
Thank you for the thorough review Phil
What a amazing fixture table!
these tables are great was also one of my best investments tough mine is way smaller. have fun with it!
That's one gorgeous table. Congrats!
With 2 more legs it should be good enough for laser optics.
Congratulations on your new table system, Phil, your shop looks great-Enjoy it in good health, all the best✅👍
Where is the link to the table
Thanks for sharing mate I will expect to see some very accurate work on your next video's.
@Phil , you mentioned " I'm pretty sure its going to hold up for a long time " / fyi : that table will "out-live" you , me , and everyone who
watches this video over the next 20 years or so !! and as an old guy - I've never been impressed by anything "Made in China" , well today
that's changed for the 1st time ever ! Hats off to you Kovosu , you've impressed the hell out of me ! :-) Best regards from Canada :-)
It is a magic table. Waiting for good deals and new ideas. +
By the way I did a sliding cabinet based on your work and idea Thank you so much.
Hello Phil,
A very table, you must be very pleased with it...
Cheers.
Paul,,
Very well presented review !
Nice job man great explanation and an awesome table I really want one.
Стол просто супер!
Теперь хочется такой же к себе в мастерскую)
Klasse Tisch, danke für die info.
Hi Phil,
Great video mate… lots of detail.
Here in Australia, a local manufacturer has been building ( under licence) and selling the German Demmler tables for the last twenty years.
About 16 years ago I bought one at a Sydney engineering exhibition .
2000mm x 1000mm & 600kg.
It is the ‘older’ design without the 3D sides, but the same 28mm precision holes @ 100 centres.
Way too big now that I’m in my garage….. BUT…. one of the best investments I ever made.
The table came with two two-tonne lifting eyes that are fixed using four of the standard ball-bolts.
You should get many years of use out of it 👍
Regards
Robert
Yeah Demmeler is one brand I looked at too, looks very good. It's interesting about the ball bolts, I thought about doing that too but I wasn't sure how much weight they can support so I figured I'd rather not take any chances. But I've seen pictures of these tables being lifted with those so it seems to be common practice
Superbe, bonnes idées pour les fixations, la table est magnifique
Sweet table & accessories..❤️
Nice shop addition, well made video.
Bought one of these from china in 1.5x2m. Best purchase ever for my shop. One thing to note they offer these in cast iron and carbon steel. Always pick the cast iron.
Very nice table, congrats!
Very nice table we use large cast iron ones at work. Made in the Steel foundry a part of the company I worked for.
Hello, I would like to ask what type of steel do you use for the plate on the table with holes? Please if you can answer me ..
thank you very much
Awesome welding table! 👍
Very nice table.. 👌 good video, you have a very listenable voice
Great table ! Congrats ! I have seen them before, I knew what they were for, but never seen how functional they are in many respects.
Yeah I think it's easy to underestimate them if you just see the holes. The functionality is immense, even when you're not welding
@@PhilVandelay Your table seems to be a bit different to the one shown in Fireball tool (Buildpro max 5/8ths & 28mm). Who did you buy yours from & what is their product code ?
@@Matlockization you can check the link ti the producers instagram you might find it there
@@alexanderhedin4005 Thanks.
@@Matlockization NP
With all these cool shop additions, I think it’s time for a shop tour video. Just a suggestion!
great help many thanks.
for your information steel toe boots is to clip the toes clean off instead off crushing ur hole fot also alittel bit of protection other wise :D
Excellent video. Very well organized, and relevant to the design and anticipated use of the table. Well done.
Great showcase video! Does it have any features that protect it from weld splatters?
I don't weld, but have always wondered how do people prevent the splatters from sticking and messing up the table surface. Or maybe that's a non-issue and I'm just thinking too much 😅
Great video for someone looking for a fixture table. Just bought a different brand. Not even close to that quality. I'll have to look them up. A usa made table that size with those accessories would be at least $20,000.
If you have this, you wouldn't go lower than that. Close to perfect. Almost made me cry.
incredible table
We had one of those tables where I was studying. It was one of the most helpful things I could ever imagine.
For the ones who can not or do not want to afford this Premium one, check out Dirk Ahrendt‘s table.
Congrats Phil to this gem. Will give you a lot of fun for the next decades ✌️😊
Wow. You are very smart.
We'll described and we'll explained
Beautiful!!!!
Nice welding table. Even to nice for welding!
Congrats on the new table, that's a very good long term investment! Makes me feel bad I spent way more than I should have on a Siegmund system 16 with some basic tooling but didn't trust Chinese made welding tables until I saw this video. Enjoy it!
I get it though, I took quite the gamble on this, not knowing what I would get (or if I'd get anything). Luckily it paid off in the end
@@PhilVandelay - I am quandering the same about a lathe and mill... Today the "problem" with China is that you never know what you get until you get it! You can have excellent quality and you can get trash. ALL depends on on-site QC! Nowadays "Made in China" certainly does NOT automatically mean "no quality"....
@@thjakits Haven't you thought about not depending on the offer? How much are you willing to pay? If the price is seriously below the industry pricing range, what else can you get if you don't get garbage?
@@thjakits hi, i form china.
@@dichen4495 - the issue is to find testimony of the quality of a manufacturer...
As Phil (Vandelay) said - he "gambled" and hoped for the best!
I am very glad he "won"!
1. He received a quality product
2. About 1/2 the price of "known quality" offers.
3. Now this manufacturer is gaining trust in the youtube shop community.
4. One can be reasonably confident to receive a quality product!
NO gambling required for followers of Phil's channel....
Well, great. Now I want one.
Damn. I really want one of these now.
Мега крутой сто. Поздравляю автора видео с чудесным приобретением!
Good work. 👍
I'm alwayes want that small coffi table 😝 beast regards from Poland.
Great informational video, considering one of these myself after watching this.
How is everything holding up after being used for some time, clamps, fixtures etc?
Thanks in advance. 👍🏼
Классный столик 👍. Мне нравится. Купил похожий себе, теперь работа приносит ещё больше удовольствия! Тебя смотрят и в России)
Да, согласен стол шикарен, наверное и цена соответсвующая
@@trang_22 да, дороговато. Но он стоит своих денег)
Сколько стоит-то?)
It must have made you nervous to whack the table with the flat bar the first time. Great demonstration!
Awesome.
Nice one. Now I am a bit jealous - even if I am pretty happy with my current fixture table.
Bluco is only guaranteed flat to 0.0018"/12" (0.04572mm/25.4mm), so I'd say it's pretty flat. Seems like a good option for those who don't have a multi-billion dollar corporation's tooling budget.
First rate piece. Phil, could you follow up with a deep dive on the tooling?
i want one now
Great job with video. I’ve inquired them for a similar table, and they quoted a hard chrome plated surface. Is this a better treatment for splatter, or is the nitrided surface better ? As well, what about the hole size, why 28mm instead of 22mm ?
28mm is the standard size for Bluco tables.. These are knock off tables you can buy from China and India. All the attachments are knock off too. Bluco tables are 1" thick or you could say 25.4mm. The bracing underside cross plates are 3/8 thick or 10mm. Bluco uses full 1" thick bracing and they are lifetime warrantied but the knock off tables only for 1 year.
very good video, thank you.
i have a question can this machin help to build cnc machine big sizes (200cmx300cm)?
Very nice
Nice table, thanks for posting, can you tell me what software you are using for your animations? Looks good.
Te envidio sanamente. En Argentina nos cuesta conseguir una escuadra de buena calidad. Saludos. Alejandro
Should look into the Fireball Tools table!
Hello, Hope you are well and thank you for the video. I am having trouble getting info from their website and I can’t get any prices. Could you please tell me how much this table and fixture kit cost? Thank you very much.
I want that
LOL. Can't believe you actually hit it with a metal bar! I almost didn't give this a like... But I did like the video (no more beatings please). :-)
Hey I did it for you! And for Science. Just had to know if the claims are true
@@PhilVandelay - you are taking "science" to a new level!! The youtube universe thanks you!
Hey Phil, nice video for a nice table. Where can i find a shop for this one?
Hey brother how much for this table
Also all equipment come with table
Fukn wow, that's some accessory pack
beautiful bit of engineering ......that damage test had me frowning, amazingly tough Finnish
Te envidio amigo!!!
Établi de soudure magnifique 👌
if you're wearing steel-toed and they fail they're made to fail in such a way that they cut your toes instead of crushing them as when you don't have steel toed. partially cut of toes are easier to save than crushed ones
Hi just for your information the green 2t strop although in a basket configuration would make it have a solid of 4t. The way you used it was not a basket of 90° so it actually only will take 2.8t. Thats a big reduction of 4t and could catch you out.
Look at the label you showed us it's rite there you had your thumb on it.
I only say as I would hate for you to get hurt.
Great videos and skill work. I am currently building your bike from your plans I purchased 👍 thanks for doing them.
Kind regards
Nice 👍
I am interested in buying this table. So I am interested is this nitrated plasama, cast iron or any other material of table? thank you.
One day your great-great-grandchildren will be watching this video as they fight amongst themselves over who gets to inherit the table from whichever of your great-grandchildren was lucky enough to inherit it before them.
Excellent video, thank you! I even didn't know that company exist.
What can you say about this table after 2 years of usage? Have you notice any negative aspects?
Thanks you so much for the video. Very helpful! Is this one of Kovasu's cast iron tables? Or steel?
