Nice table for sure, and I looked at those myself until I saw the price. I bought
two Strong Hand tables instead, for less than what one Miller table costs. And that includes the clamps and some small angle magnets. Nothing against Miller other than their pricing these days.
(I have three of their welders, a spool gun and a plasma cutter.)
Have you seen their $1000 shop vac?
They are calling it a fume extractor...

I don't know what model you got, but the Strong Hand one in the TSC store, that looked exactly like the Harbor Freight model, was a piece of crap, the top was sheet metal and the floor model was bent all to hell. According to the area rep, they have about 6 different tables and table packages. I was not impressed with the one TSC or Harbor Freight, is selling. I hope yours is better.
I have 9 or 10 different models of Millers welders, as you say, they very proud of what they sell.

True, the Miller does have a thicker table top. But there is nothing impressive about any of them IMO. They are what they are. Portable, fold-up, easy to move tables that can be set up quickly. If I wanted a welding table to beat on I would want it to have a 1/2" plate on top.
