What happens here

The project begins with a Harbor Freight welding table, which is shown upright and then inverted to expose the leg ends. The user introduces the casters with threaded stems that will be installed. The first step involves removing an existing welded nut from the inside of each leg. This is done by grinding off the nut using an angle grinder, then further enlarging and smoothing the hole with a step drill bit.

Goal: Remove welded nuts and prepare leg openings for casters.

Drill — Operating the step drill bit

So, with my welder getting delivered in the next couple days, maybe next week, I'm going to start on my Harbor Freight welding table build, I'm going to throw these wheels on here. So, I'll have casters and then we'll build up as we go. But, this is the first the first mod I'm doing to it. So, I'm going to cut this nut off, bolt these on there, and I'll come back once I get done. Cut the nut off. >> [snorts] >> Little paint protection
