Welding Bench

A welding bench gives a shop a stable, flat surface at working height for cutting, fitting and welding. It is the piece that turns a corner of a barn into a usable work area.

A proper bench holds a project still while it is tacked and welded, which is most of the difference between a square job and one that pulls. It also keeps the work off the floor, where a person ends up kneeling and fighting the piece.

Benches are built heavy so they do not walk or flex under a load, and often with a frame that can take a vise or clamps. For anyone who repairs equipment and builds pens on the place, a bench is one of the first things a shop needs.
