Reality check time...


How do you decide what table is the right one?


I know the 2'x2' i have now is too small, it works ok for most of my jobs but i can only cut with the plate square on the bed so no quick twisting it to get another cut out etc.


I can physically fit the 4'x4' (1250x1250) into my shop, thats ok.


I cannot lift a sheet of steel that size, have little possibility of lifting gear etc. as its only a double garage. A sheet of 3mm which is my most popular is about 36kg so only just about ok but the other one i use a fair bit of is 4mm and would be 50kg, no way i can lift that.


Would it be better to go 3'x3' instead?


Cost difference in build is minimal, but what makes sense - having the real estate and not using it or saving floor space etc??
