trailer tongue lenght

If you are welding with that plate on a steel table the table could suck the heat out faster then you can put it in try to insulate the parts from the table. I've had a problem like that and insulating it fixed my problem

I got my air vac from a machine shop/weld shop that went out of buisness and I bought I at an auction years ago. The model I have is a M-25 and plenty big

I have an Air Vac System built in Cedar Rapids Iowa. This thing works great for everything I can stick weld in my garage and this will keep it filtered. I have done some sanding on some woodworking projects and it collects dust too. It his a prefilter that's 24x24x4 and then a smoke sock inside. This...

Sandpaper flap discs work great. Course ones to start fine to finish. If you can't find those you can use a regular grinding wheel but cover the wheel and weld with crisco shortening this will keep the wheel from plugging with aluminum.

I use clear plexiglass on my mill bed. Bolting a plate on your table will collect moisture that you can't see and rust your table very fast and you won't even know it. The plexiglass has been on my mill for ten years and works great
