DXMF4618WT Adjustable Height Portable Steel Welding Table and Work Bench

This is a really sturdy, reasonably portable welding table. We’re doing oxy/acetelyne welding and cutting on an off grid property, working on a shipping container/ future workshop. Since we need to carry our tools out in a pickup truck, the more portable, the better. This table is exactly what we needed. Note that the holes are just over 3/4” ... so not the same as most welding tables, but an easy size to find or fabricate useful fixtures for. There are two 10” x 1 1/8” and four 13” x 1 1/8” slats. The legs have sturdy holds on them, but as an extra safety measure, there is a lock/safety pin for each leg... great idea. The safety pins nicely fit between the holes along the table edge when not in use for transport when folded up (I included a picture of this). It’s also nice that the legs can be folded for storage while extended to full height... so you don’t have to slide them in and stow the safety pins. The “cord minder” isn’t worthy. Basically a cheap gimmick that honestly creates a toe-catch hazard. I decided not to install that part. The handle has reinforced receivers and attaches using bolts and nuts. It’s a good size, and comfortable to carry this hefty table. You don’t need to install it, but it’s perfect for my use. And, you can fold in the legs and use this on top of a workbench... the plastic “feet” are 6.5” down from the table surface, and in this configuration the surface will sit 7 3/8 inches off the table you set it on. On each leg a plastic folding release pulls in the peg, but you still have to apply some force to lever up the leg. This hefty mechanism would be difficult to accidentally release. Although those handles are plastic, they are tucked behind the legs and appear fairly sturdy. Time will tell. I noticed lots of reviews stating that the sticker with instructions and information is near impossible to cleanly remove. Well, someone listened to you, because this peeled off with ease and left absolutely no residue. I even posted a video of it. Isn’t it nice when feedback works!

I bought this because a) I bought a welder and needed a steel table, b) it is Dewalt, and c) pretty good price. Wow - I was impressed. It is easy to assemble, very solid and sturdy. The legs adjust length and I didn't really understand until I got it. Put them at full length (height) and you stand there and work. Put them at shortest length (lowest) and you pull up a stool and work. Easy, quick to fold up for storage. Good handle to carry it around. Plenty of well placed holes and slots for clamps. I like this thing so much I use if for wood working as well as welding!

This was purchased because I needed a portable welding table to work on small sculptures. While it certainly is a great welding table, it also serves to be a work table for my wood projects because it is incredibly stable and height adjustable. For the price, it can’t be beat!

This table seems to be ell built and sturdy. The delivery was much faster than expected. Pros: - Very portable for a quick setup wherever I need something away from the workbench. I work outside a lot and this will probably fit the need nicely. - Easy setup and compact storage Cons: - The "standard' holes in the bench are 3/4" NOT 5/8". To be fair this is stated in the description. (I just hate the way DeWalt has a take it or leave it attitude with their tools. DeWalt tools for the average person are overpriced and not of much better quality. The batteries are especially ridiculous.) - The cord minders are more of a hindrance than a help. I do not plan to use then as they probably will not withstand constant use and the get in the way of storing the unit in a tight space. I would not have purchased this table if there had been another choice in the build quality and sturdiness. The next tables down are either plastic or much smaller. The next tables up are definitely not portable.

After seven days this table completed its journey from Mesquite Tx to my doorstep. Packaging My initial impression of the product was a bit diminished by the quality of the packaging - all four of the bench feet had broken through the cardboard packaging, as if the table had been dropped onto a smaller box, or placed upside down with heavy placed on top. Whatever happened cosmetically marred the plastic on one of the bench feet. I was a bit concerned about what I would see when I opened the box. When I opened the box, the table looked fine. Whatever happened in shipping or at the warehouse, the table was tough enough to take it. Assembly The table is supposed to come with two cord minders, though I only saw one initially. Whatever abuse the box suffered caused the second to move to a different part of the box. The table came together without much trouble. The cord minders were partially assembled so at first it looked like a few parts might be missing, but everything ended up being in the box. One strange thing was that the cord minders assemble with a philips screw, but the handle attaches with hex screws. The instructions didn’t mention anything about tools so it took a short game of musical alan wrenches to figure out what I needed. Once I got that sorted… It’s probably taken me longer to type up to this point in the review than it took to get the table together. Size The table’s footprint is roughly 45 ½ inches by 18 ⅜ inches. The actual workspace is approximately 42 ⅞ inches by 15 ¾ inches. It is considerably narrower than other budget offerings, but it’s large enough for my needs, and with the legs folded it fits on top of my workbench - any deeper than 20 inches and this would not be possible. So for my limited garage space, this is a win. The holes are different from what you will find on most other budget welding tables. They are 3 inches apart, center to center, rather than the usual 2 inches, and they are wider than the usual ⅝. The product description says they are ¾ inches wide, but with my calipers I confirmed what another reviewer mentioned - that they are more like .788 inches wide (I measured 19.80~19.95mm, depending on how I held my calipers). Not sure in which alternate reality this would seem like a good design choice - it almost turned me off to this table. But if I can’t find any spacers or clamps that fit, I’ll print a pattern and do some sand casting to make my own. I did find some workable dogs for this table https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09L7ZJGQZ The 19mm versions fit, though there is a slight amount of play. My 19mm dogs run slightly large at 19.1mm. I suspect the 20mm versions might also run slightly large, and would probably not fit the table holes. The Table Is it sturdy? Yes, no discernable wobble Is it flat? Well, yeah, very flat. Perhaps not milspec - if I place an architectural metal ruler on the table I can just push a paper between the ruler and the surface here and there. Plenty flat enough for a hobbyist such as myself. How’s the table finish? Whatever happened during shipping didn’t bend anything or chip any paint. The finish on top of the table is good. There are a couple of places where there are mild marks or discoloration but… it’s a welding table. It’s bound to collect a few battle scars by my hand throughout its service life, so a minor cosmetic headstart is no big deal. Conclusion I’m very happy with this table. It’s sturdy, level and has a flat surface. It fits the benchtop where it will see at least some of its service. It’s smaller than some other welding products, but doesn’t have any of the unlevel surface issues that I read about other products. It seems like it’s everything it claims to be.
