The BuildPro welding tables, specifically the Alpha series, are designed with a focus on precision, durability, and versatility. Here's a concise description of their key features:
Reversible Self-Locating Top & Side Plates: All BuildPro welding tables, including the Alpha series, come with precision-machined self-locating steel plates. These tables are unique in that they offer reversible top plates. This allows users to remove and flip the plates by 180 degrees, providing a fresh working surface if the top side has suffered damage or wear.
Table Accuracy:
-
Table Flatness: The tables maintain an exceptional level of flatness, with a tolerance of ±0.005 inches per 24 inches by 24 inches.
-
Hole Spacing: The hole spacing is consistent at 2.000 inches, with a precision tolerance of ±0.001 inches.
-
Hole Diameter: Each hole on the table has a diameter of 0.625 inches, with a tight tolerance of +.002 inches/- .000 inches.
-
Plate Thickness: The plates are 0.47 inches thick, with a tolerance of ±0.004 inches.
Tabletop Side Height: These tables feature a 5-1/2 inch side plate combined with the top plate, creating a 6-inch overall side height. This design provides a sturdy and convenient working surface.
Extended Borehole Pattern: The side plates on Alpha tables are equipped with an extended 5 borehole pattern. This pattern enhances precision and adjustability, making it easier to secure and clamp workpieces in various welding setups.
Nitrided (Heat-Treated) Tabletop: The top and side plates are constructed from heat-treated steel, with the top plates hardened to a remarkable Rockwell hardness (HRC) of 58-62, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to wear. The side plates are slightly softer, with a hardness of 50-55 HRC. To enhance their durability and corrosion resistance, they are finished with a nitrite coating, which provides a case depth ranging from .0004 to .0008 inches.
Plate Mounting Detail for Side Plates: The side plates are designed with a self-locating bushing system, simplifying the process of mounting and aligning the side plates. This feature enhances the overall precision and usability of the table.
