| So you have a machine, but you can't just operate it on the floor! You'll need a table of some sort to set it onto!

| - | The MDC 7722 is 30" x 30" which makes it a little annoying to find a good table. Most worktables are 2' wide. We ended up going with a stainless steel kitchen work table. These are available in nearly any size, and are not unreasonably priced. We got [[http://www.advancetabco.com/|Advance Tabco]] model AG-300 / [[http://www.kclcutsheets.com/PDF/AD/economy_worktables.pdf|ELAG-300]] which is 36" high and 30"x30" stainless steel top, with plastic rubber feet. Its pretty easy to move around and solidly made. | + | The MDC 7722 is 30" x 30" which makes it a little annoying to find a good table. Most worktables are 2' wide.

We paid $320 w/freight from [[http://www.atlantafixture.com/Detail.aspx?ItemId=401668&S=1|Atlanta Fixture]], but of course it is drop-shipped direct from Advance Tabco, our came via UPS ground. |
