In this video we check out Harbor Freight's brand new Titanium Fixture Table. We cover why we bought it, unbox the table, cover the assembly process, and then showcase the finished result. You'll likely see this table utilized in future videos.

My plan was to build a custom welding/fixture table. Due to space constraints, this table fit the bill for what I currently need. In the future, should we add-on to the shop and have room to build our dream table, this can serve as a mobile table, or a really nice surface to mount a vise or bench grinder.

*If you want to get right to the unboxing and assembly, skip to the 12:00 mark. Time Stamps are below.*

Time Stamps and Links
@0:00 Intro
@0:45 Why Buy?
@2:30 Northern Tool's Klutch Fixture Table and Cart
-Northern Tool has had a similar table, and a fancier cart for years
--I want to say the NT has a welded top, where this is bolt on...you can find pros and cons either ay with the top set up
@3:05 Price Points
-Harbor Freight's standard MSRP at launch is much lower than NT...
--The price will possibly drop and I don't foresee any coupon exclusions
---Bottom line, you can get this table for a really good price if you are patient
@3:55 Lucky Stock
-I almost never buy anything at full price, but I was in to snag a rivet gun for work and just happened to see if they had the table in stock...decided to pull the trigger since it was there and a reasonable price
@5:10 Your Plans
-This table is probably a solid option for most DIY/weekend warriors, and automotive performance shops
--It might be lacking for production, or applications that are simply a larger scale
---If I wanted to build fence gates, or large tables...this would be a bad standalone choice
---If I want to weld v-bands, this is a great size
@5:50 Expansion Options
@6:30 My Original Plans
@7:05 Standard Work Bench Solution
-This would be great for mounting a vise, bench grinder, sander, etc.
@7:25 Why No Dream Table?
-Space...literally just space constraints
@8:30 Other Options
-Once you get out of the sub-$300 range you can graduate to some much larger and stouter tables
@9:13 Specs: Weight and Dimensions
@10:15 Table Top Option
-This would compliment someone wanting a fixture table who already has a big welding table
@12:00 Dimension Recap
@12:25 In the Box
@12:59 Table Top Packaging
@13:35 Box Contents
@14:30 Table Top Profile
-Definitely okay for light duty, but not beef cake status
@14:51 Ernst Tray for Hardware
@15:05 Hardware Specs and Tools Needed
@15:51 Short Leg Assembly
-Outboard Holes
@16:40 Long Leg Assembly
-Inboard Holes
@17:17 Box for Table Protection
@17:48 Leg Brace Assembly
-Went with Slot 2...will tweak based on how I like the TIG Welder's footswitch placed
@18:43 Level Check (No Feet)
-Figured I'd check it just for the heck of it
--Not sure if I will run casters, or build a platform for it
@20:25 Shard Cut
-I'm editing this a week later and that has bothered me all week...
@20:50 Assembly Tip
-Assuming you watch this BEFORE buying and assembling the table...make a point to blow debris out of the top frame
@21:44 Table Adjustment
-The benefit of this being bolted on and not welded is that you could potentially adjust for any warpage and shim if needed
@22:30 Deburr
-I noticed a few holes with rough edges...I would deburr the top after assembly and before use to avoid issues
@23:41 Included Tooling
-Really nice to have this included with the table
@24:30 Tools for Clamps
@25:50 Recap and Immediate Plans
-Bought this to teach myself to TIG Weld
@26:45 Think Before You Buy
-This could be a great table, or a bad fit..it just depends what you plan to do
@27:19 Potential Mods
-Casters, Pegboard, Shelf
@28:28 Feet Installed
-Forgot to mention that earlier
@28:45 Sheet Metal Shelf
@29:10 Plenty of Space for V-Bands
-Again, something like that makes this table a great option...building gates is NOT good for a single table like this
@29:50 Nice for the Price
@30:10 Should Work with Other 5/8" Fixtures
@31:34 Your Thoughts
@33:00 Tight Holes
-Again, I suggest you deburr before using the table
@34:00 Similar Table Experience?
@34:15 Why Buy
-To me, this is an important aspect to include in a video
@34:30 Initial Impression
