I've installed a box for a 120v receptacle on my welding table. It's metal, so I just tack welded it to the table leg. Normally, when doing work like this, I would bond the box to ground, so that the box wouldn't become energized if a cable came loose or whatever. I'm not sure if there will be any unusual implications of the table being part of the welding circuit, though. I have done some web searching on this topic, and I can find a lot of discussions of whether a welding table needs to be grounded, but none of them seem to address the issue of whether the presence of 120v receptacles changes the equation.
In retrospect, maybe I should have gone with a GFCI receptacle... but... but... It would have been like, an extra $11!!! :hissyfit:
