The water table better known as the shaker table has been in use in the mining industry for well over a hundred years, I believe the fist tables were manufactured by Wilfley his patent run out years ago today many tables bearing his name are still manufactured using his original design also many clones using different mechanical means to obtain the shaking motion are being offered on the market.

Also there are many DIY plans to build your own table available on the Internet.

Someone here on the forum posted they were looking for a water table, I did not know WTF they were actually looking for, the table they want is a shaker table AKA Wilfley Table.

The shaker table does a great job of separating materials having different specific gravity’s such as granulated copper contaminated with plastic chops. The problem is that the tables have a large foot print and can be troublesome to set up,plus they require a solid base like a concrete floor.

For my purposes I'm going to use a small 12 inch centrifuge which is capable of out performing the shaker table by several hundred times, that small 12 inch centrifuge can process 160 pounds a minute while it would take a medium sized table 10 minutes or more to process the same amount of material.

The centrifuge has a small footprint and needs to fine tuning to operate efficiently, the downside is that a centrifuge is going to cost ten times more than a shaker table would..
