Do you just lay like 1" beads when welding it to the table? I'm assuming the use of a cut-off wheel in the end to remove the welds from the table and a grinder to smooth it all out.[/QUOTE]
This is how I've done it in the past. But after a few project, and not wanting to see grind marks in the paint, I chose to clamp as much as possible. I don't have a cutoff wheel. I grind till I'm close, then give the material a smack or two to knock it free. Then I'll take a catpaw ( flapper disc) to finish the clean up.
