Those of you who are following along with our Boss 340 project are aware that we're using a Miller MIG welding unit for all of the fabrication and chassis-upgrade work that has been nessary on the 1990 LX 'Stang.
We dig Miller's MIG and TIG welding systems because they're relatively easy to use, and they're designed with the home-shop/do-it-yourself type of enthusiasts in mind.
I recently came across a brand-new product from Miller (at Miller's booth at the PRI show) that I like A LOT; the all-new, "ArcStation," welding workbench. Right now, all of the "bench" welding work that I do in my small, home-shop workspace is usually on the concrete of the driveway, or the front porch (also concrete) or back patio at my house (don't tell my wife), as my wooden workbenches prevent any possibility of welding on them, obviously due to big-time potential of starting a fire, when the arcs start flying.
If you're in the same boat that I am, or if you're using a home-built welding table that doesn't fully meet your needs, the ArcStation is the answer. Find out why, after the jump...
Miller's ArcStation is the first workstation designed specifically for welding and metalworking. It's a purpose-built workbench that is based on either a 30" x 30" or 30" x 60" table frame, and a 3/16" or 3/8" tabletop, and customized with optional accessories that include an X-Pattern tabeltop for easier clamping and cleanup, X-Clamps, tool chest, weld curtain, vise, and an assortment of shelving.
ArcStations start at $352, and prices increase as a unit is customized/optioned out. Check out the workstation unit and its assortment of options at www.millerwelds.com/arcstation.
At this point, I'm hoping Santa leaves one out in the shop for me. There's three days left!
