Due to the weight of the table, it is highly recommended that you have a second person to
assist during the build of the table, being made from steel it is heavy and help should be
obtained to avoid any injuries. Always remember to wear the appropriate PPE when
working with metal and welding equipment. Refer to your welder manufacturers
recommendations for the correct settings for your welder to suit the material thickness.
Getting Started
Before starting the assembly ensure you have the correct tools & equipment to successfully assemble the table
whilst making sure you are wearing the appropriate Safety PPE.
Check for Burrs
It is normal for the components to have small burrs or minor imperfections as part of the laser cutting process. While
wearing protective gloves, check the edges of the individual pieces and visually inspect them for any small burrs.
If you do happen to nd one, use a le to remove any burrs, being careful not to remove too much excess material as
it may affect the end result.
Clean Components
The components are supplied painted to protect it from rust, however, paint must be removed before any welding
can take place.
Suggestion of what you will need
Note - this assembly guide is merely a recommendation and should not be followed blindly, if you do not have the
equipment or the experience necessary to complete this project you should consider seeking advice from a
professional.
• ‘G’ Clamps (or alternative) with an opening of at least 100mm to secure the table in place during welding..

Parts List

Assembly Steps

Step 1: Assemble Frame Base

Assembles long ribs, cross rib ends, and cross rib centres upside down, ensuring squareness and flatness.

Step 2: Weld Frame Base

Welds highlighted areas of the frame base, advising minimal welding to prevent warping.

Step 3: Assemble Legs

Assembles legs and leg braces using M8 screws, adjusting feet for level height.

Step 4: Attach Frame to Legs

Turns frame over, attaches it to legs, ensures top cap is level with ribs, and checks for squareness.

Step 5: Assemble Chute

Assembles the chute using M6 screws, dome nuts, and M8 screws to attach it to the table.

Step 6: Weld Ribs and Tighten Screws

Welds long ribs to top caps and cross rib ends, then tightens all screws.

Step 7: Install Table Ribs

Inserts all 16 table ribs into the long rib slots and taps them flush for readiness.

Overview

3. Maintenance Features

The HAFCO PCT-7510 Plasma Cutting Table (Order Code W08602) is a robust and versatile piece of equipment designed to provide a stable and efficient platform for plasma cutting operations. Its primary function is to support workpieces during the cutting process, allowing molten material and slag to fall through a slatted surface into a collection chute, thereby keeping the work area cleaner and safer. The table's construction emphasizes durability and stability, making it suitable for demanding workshop environments.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Weight Recommendation: Due to the table's weight (indicated as 40kg+), it is highly recommended to have a second person assist during assembly to prevent injuries. The table is constructed from steel, contributing to its substantial weight and stability.
• Components: The table comprises several key components:
  • Table Ribs (Qty: 16)
  • Long Ribs (Qty: 3)
  • Cross Rib Ends (Qty: 2)
  • Cross Rib Centres (Qty: 2)
  • Long Leg Braces (Qty: 2)
  • Short Leg Braces (Qty: 2)
  • Legs (Qty: 4)
  • Leg Top Caps (Qty: 4)
  • Long Chute Sides (Qty: 2)
  • Short Chute Sides (Qty: 2)
  • M6 Screws & Dome Nuts (Qty: 12)
  • M8 Screws (Qty: 20)
• Assembly Method: The table requires assembly through a combination of welding and mechanical fastening (screws and nuts). Welding is a critical step for securing the main frame components, ensuring structural integrity.
• Material: The table is made from steel, which is powder-coated to protect against rust. This material choice ensures high strength and resistance to the harsh conditions associated with plasma cutting.

Usage Features:

• Stable Work Surface: The slatted design of the table ribs provides an ideal surface for supporting various workpieces during plasma cutting. The gaps between the ribs allow cut material and slag to fall through, preventing buildup on the work surface and potential interference with the cutting process.
• Integrated Slag Collection Chute: The table incorporates a chute system (composed of long and short chute sides) designed to collect molten material and slag that falls through the ribs. This feature helps maintain a cleaner work area, reduces cleanup time, and enhances safety by containing hot debris.
• Adjustable Feet: The legs are equipped with adjustable feet, allowing users to level the table on uneven surfaces. This ensures a stable and flat work platform, which is crucial for accurate cutting.
• Robust Leg Bracing: Long and short leg braces are used to reinforce the leg structure, providing additional stability and rigidity to the overall table frame.
• Compatibility: The table is designed for use with plasma cutting equipment. Users are advised to refer to their welder manufacturer's recommendations for correct settings to suit the material thickness being cut.
• Assembly Flexibility: While the manual provides a recommended assembly sequence and tools, it acknowledges that users may employ other methods and tools based on their experience and available resources.

Maintenance Features:

• Powder-Coated Finish: The components are supplied with a powder-coated finish, which serves as a protective layer against rust. This finish contributes to the longevity of the table by preventing corrosion.
• Pre-Welding Preparation: Before welding, it is essential to remove a small amount of the powder coat finish from the areas to be welded. This ensures proper fusion of the metal components, as paint can interfere with weld quality.
• Burr Removal: Due to the laser cutting process, components may have small burrs or minor imperfections. Users are instructed to inspect and remove these burrs using a file while wearing protective gloves. This step is important for safe handling and proper fitment of components during assembly.
• Weld Quality Emphasis: The assembly instructions stress the importance of proper welding techniques, advising that "less is more" when welding to avoid excessive heat and potential warping of the frame. This highlights a key maintenance aspect related to the structural integrity of the table.
• Regular Cleaning: The integrated chute system facilitates easier cleanup of slag and debris, which is a routine maintenance task for plasma cutting tables.
• Component Replacement: The modular design, with individual ribs and other components, suggests that specific parts could potentially be replaced if damaged, although this is not explicitly detailed in the provided instructions.

In summary, the HAFCO PCT-7510 Plasma Cutting Table is a heavy-duty, weld-together assembly designed to offer a stable, clean, and efficient workspace for plasma cutting applications, emphasizing safety and durability through its construction and recommended assembly practices.
