The economical SMART welding tables offer a very attractive price, often starting at around 4,000 PLN (€1120 / US$1,290), depending on the size and thickness of the table top. Traditional tables, on the other hand, require a slightly higher investment for professional workshops due to their more robust construction and higher durability.
