OUR STORY
Two years prior to our KO Welding Tables™ site launch, we set sail to our testing phase of the now to be KO Welding Table.We began by purchasing our first sample table/fixtures kit, and figured the best way to test the table’s precision/durability was to use it over time in a real life scenario. The sample table and fixtures were then used for all sorts of fabrication jobs over a one year period.
After extensive use, we were impressed by the “might” of the tables – as-well as the endless amount of clamping and fixture opportunities. We even tried welding a 1.6mm RHS table frame with zero tacks (not recommend). To our surprise, the frame came out perfectly flat and square!
Throughout our years of welding, we’ve never used such a precise 3D modular welding table; just your usual DIY steel table top and flat pack DIY tables, which are still fine. But just don’t compare to these CNC machined, ready-made, thick-block welding tables.
With tolerances of:
Flatness: ±0.01mm (1m2) | Hole Distance: ±0.05mm | Hole Diameter: +0.05mm
We were more confident in the precision of our work, whilst pumping out jobs faster than ever.
Now that we knew we had a solid product, R&D started on a set product line. We reached out to several aussie fabrication shops and contractors, in an effort to find out which table sizes and fixture configurations would best suit them. After a bunch of phone calls and conversations we soon realised – everyone required different table sizes, configurations and fixtures…
A couple of set products simply wouldn’t do!
Then, had the obvious light bulb moment… Rather than having a small product line, let’s just provide customisable, made-to-order welding tables and accessories to suit everyone’s needs. Not only that, but to have our affordable prices on display for instant quotes, while featuring a seamless “online shopping” style enquiry system.
After six months of the KO team carefully designing, developing and fine tuning our easy-to-use website, koweldingtables.com.au and the KO Welding Table was finally born!
