An affordable workbench designed specifically for welders has customizable options that make it the ideal welding workbench for both the fab shop and the home shop.
The ArcStation™ from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) is the first workstation designed specifically for welding and metalworking. This purpose-built workbench is affordable, fully customizable and perfect for industrial pros and home hobbyists alike. Welders choose an approximately 30 in x 30 in or 30 in x 60 in table, a 3/16 in or 3/8 in tabletop, and customize it with optional accessories, including an X-Pattern tabeltop, X-Clamps, tool chest, weld curtain, vise, and an assortment of shelving options.
ArcStation models start at $352 and are customized from there. ArcStation allows welders to replace older, makeshift welding benches with a safe, sturdy and ergonomically designed workstation. The optional X-Pattern design simplifies clamping and cleanup. The frame is constructed of 1/8 in steel, has a rear crossbar and leveling feet on each leg for maximum strength and stability.

“On most workbenches the welder is limited to clamping around the outside edges of the table top. If you do need to clamp in the middle of the table you either had to tack weld the parts to the tabletop or unclamp and reposition everything. With ArcStation’s X-Pattern table top and exclusive clamps, you simply slide the custom X-clamp into the nearest slot and clamp your parts where you need to – no tacking parts to the table or moving and re-clamping everything.” – Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric
The optional X-Pattern design and custom clamps give welders added clamping flexibility on the work bench and makes it easier to clean-up the work area (dust tray comes standard with the X-Pattern design). The standard shelving is recessed to make room for TIG welders who use foot pedal controls. These shelves are great for storing welding equipment, raw materials and other tools. Additional storage options include a two-drawer tool chest, an interior shelf, and a convenience kit that contains a gun holder, tool holder and a clamp bar.
