Product Manager Quotes

“On most workbenches the welder is limited to clamping around the outside edges of the table top. If you do need to clamp in the middle of the table you either had to tack weld the parts to the tabletop or unclamp and reposition everything. With ArcStation’s X-Pattern table top and exclusive clamps, you simply slide the custom X-clamp into the nearest slot and clamp your parts where you need to – no tacking parts to the table or moving and re-clamping everything.”

—Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.

“We have priced ArcStation so that it is affordable for everyone. If you take a look at the materials, tools and time it would take you to build a customized welding station, you will see that ArcStation is a great value, and it is built to Miller’s high quality standards.”

—Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.

Additional News Release Information

The optional X-Pattern design and custom clamps give welders added clamping flexibility on the work bench and makes it easier to clean-up the work area (dust tray comes standard with the X-Pattern design). The standard shelving is recessed to make room for TIG welders who use foot pedal controls. These shelves are great for storing welding equipment, raw materials and other tools. Additional storage options include a two-drawer tool chest, an interior shelf, and a convenience kit that contains a gun holder, tool holder and a clamp bar.

Welders can fully customize their own ArcStation at Miller’s website—http://www.millerwelds.com/arcstation. This easy-to-use online tool builds ArcStation step-by-step and allows users to print, save or email the customized design for easy ordering with a Miller distributor.
