Hi all,
I am a longtime woodworker who is starting to try his hand at metalworking. While I have a small metal welding table that I use when brazing/soldering (and MIG/TIG once I learn those processes and get a rig), almost all of the workspace in my shop is made of wood butcher block given my background. Assuming I vigorously cleaned the area to remove all sawdust/wood shavings, could I use those wooden tables to mount an abrasive chop saw and a metal bench vise to use with an angle grinder or would the sparks created by cutting/shaping metal stock on top of those surfaces pose a safety hazard/be otherwise problematic? Thanks so much for the help!
