holes/slots in table top and Miller Arcstation

[mkehler]

Hi guys, just designing a new welding tabletop for myself. Not sure what to put in for holes/slots for clamps. I was thinking of getting those clamps that the Miller Arcstation uses.... does anyone have an arcstation and can tell me what the slot dimensions are? Or have any other ideas?

Typically what size of slots and holes are people putting into their tops? For the base I was thinking of simply 2x2 square but about 2inches of overlap (to accomodate this, the slots in the picture won't be as close to the edge as shown)

I attached a quick sketch.. its starting to look a bit busy. I'm not sure if I should get rid of the slots on the left completely or not.. any ideas? I'll be using this mostly for tig for smaller pieces like engine manifolds, bracketry, etc. There is almost always something I need to clamp down or hold in some fashion.

thanks
