No worries, @@MG6Makes. I was just trying to garner whether Langmuir’s tables are actually any flatter. I have heard from some that they do also have issues being low in the center…
So, I gotta tell you a bit of a story, @@user-gz6fn2yx9f. I bought a pair of tables from Primeweld, and they were a mess, but they ended up refunding me, and they really listened to my feedback, and said they would fix the issues and send me a better table on their next batch. These tables (Langmuir, Primeweld, & others in the 24”x36” size @ 145 lbs) are built around the idea that they’ll ship ground, so they have to be light, and light≠rigid. I think the premise is, that for the price, they’re pretty good, but they ARE cheap. My initial quandary was that I have had nothing but trouble with Langmuir’s customer service (on my CNC plasma table), and I knew Primeweld was much better in that department. I wish my tables had been better, but Primeweld COMPLETELY stood behind their product, and they seem committed to ultimately getting it right. I’m not sure whether or not I’m supposed to let the cat out of the bag, but they are also working on a larger heavier table similar to the Fireball offering, but in the meantime, if you need a heavy, flat, rigid table, and you can afford the Fireball options, that is going to be your best bet. Primeweld’s new table is supposed to come out in the summer, and I will have an unbiased review of it on MY channel when they do. I hope MG6Makes is ok with the self-promotion; I initially came here to these comments just completely curious about whether or not I would have been better or worse if I had ordered the Langmuir Systems Arc Flat tables, and before I had even talked to Primeweld about the less than satisfactory tables I had initially received… Anyway, that’s just one perspective, so please take it with a grain of salt.
Primeweld has a table that has the same casting, but the bottom where the kegs go are machines, it’s nitrided, has better legs and actually costs less.
So how bad are your worst low spots? Just 0.0015”? I bought some tables from another name brand, and they’re low by as much as 0.030” in the middle. 😳
I would have to measure again. iirc not enough that it matters to me.

Lots of people are having problems with these. Fireball tool just came out with a new table. I’ll probably look at that instead of these.
