No, I planned on doing one when it's done. I wanted to add a sheet metal brake and some magnetic hold downs and stuff but now it's on the long list of half done projects. Table works great though.
Here are a couple of posts I have made about it:
Mobile shop work fab tables.
So although I don’t really have the room for one, I’m thinking that a mobile steel work bench would make my life easier with my next project that I’m about to start. I’m thinking all steel, castors with bolts that can raise and lower them, 2x5 or 3x5, expanded metal lower storage shelf, room...

The two stores closest to me both have them on display and at least the one had a few available after Thanksgiving, but they were bought pretty much as soon as they were delivered to the store.

Klutch is down to $160 today. HF has a $25 off knocking it down to $170 https://www.northerntool.com/produc...UOzT-Dex7Momw4mAsuRoC7UoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
found the vevor for $86 that's REALLY tempting me, but I'm figuring the fixtures and shit would cost me almost $80 and be super handy
may pull the trigger on the Klutch today

read some reviews on the Klutch coming warped b/c it's welded to the table instead of bolting on like the HF
may just buy the Vevor one at $85 and improve it at some point in the future. Really liked the other two just for the countertop-feed ability but maybe I'll just stick it as part of the workbench in the new garage

.12" thick seems excessively thin?

good call. that's 25% thinner than the other two. hadn't caught that

Yeah that's so thin the clamps would bend table before clamping a lot of parts. 1/4" is minimum I'd want on a table like this that is used often. 3/16" is fine for garage weekend warriors.

If you're an ITC member, the HF fixture table is on sale.
This is the first that I've seen it included in any direct promotions at HF and it's lower than what you've been able to do with general coupons for $$$ or %%% off.

This seem to happen with HF a lot. They have a new item that apparently gets unexpected attention and drives demand. The initial shipments to the stores sell out quick and everyone wants what they can't have. It takes 5-6 months for the new order to come in from China. Every store gets 100, but the hype has already died down and they put put them on a the sale rack.
At that price, I'm tempted to pick up another one though. I'm wondering if they're identical to the Klutch one I already have, or at least close enough that I could pair them up if I wanted to.
I swear the same thing happened with the off road floor jacks. You couldn't get them for months, then all of a sudden every store had a stack of them in a big floor display and then they started putting them on a sale.

Well, it does makes sense to not bother with a sale on items you can't keep on the shelf.
As budget76 mentioned, there have been other sales you could use on this - the $25 off $100 or more being the most recent one. There was a 25% off anything back around the Christmas, but they didn't have any tables in stock locally.

I never bought the membership til a month ago. Something I was going to buy was $30 off and I was going to buy it anyway so the savings paid for it.

I put together a little work table just recently, and the top is 1/4". Even after welding angles along the underside of it, I was still able to distort it some while chasing the squareness of the legs. I ended up cutting one of the leg tacks entirely loose and then getting it resquared and the 1/4" top flat again before then welding it back. I buy A50 too, not A36. I'm with you, no way I'd trust a piece of 1/8" to not deflect under clamp loads; at least not for any level of heavier fabrication work. If all I was doing was light gauge arts and craftsy stuff, then maybe... but not for anything else heavier.

It looks like it will be $150 on Black Friday for everyone:

Forgot about this thread. If these tables are as decent as reviews say, I'ma have to try one out.
FYI - Ali Express has it for $122. Shows it as the Northern Tool Klutch brand in the pics but I suspect it'll come unbranded. Pretty sure that's cheaper than I bought it from NT way back when they were still cheap. Fixtures and clamps are worth about $80 of that alone.

I'll have to remember that. Hopefully picking one up at some point.

At one point it was mentioned that the table top was welded to the frame on the Klutch version, whereas the HF version is fastened and can be shimmed for flatness. However, it looks like the Klutch version may have been updated?
