Pick the size by what you build.
Same plates, same 5/8" grid and the same legs on every size — only the footprint and the leg count change. The series details below cover the top, the legs and the tooling that fits.
Quoted, not carted. Alpha 5/8" tables and tabletops are priced by quote from their product page — the legs you pick above carry over to that page. Square legs are also sold on their own.
Why Alpha 5/8"
Fixture on five sides,
flip when worn
The Alpha 5/8" is BuildPro's five-sided fixturing table. The top and all four side plates carry Ø5/8" holes on 2" centers, so clamps, stops and squares from the Strong Hand Tools 5/8" system lock in from above and from the sides.
Every plate is heat-treated, nitrided and reversible. When a face is worn or spattered, lift the plate off, flip it 180° and set it back — top and side plates alike. The full build is in the tech specs.
Choose from five sizes, from 4' × 4' to 10' × 5', then pick the legs: two fixed heights, adjustable, or adjustable with casters. Tabletops are also sold on their own.
How it compares
Alpha 5/8 vs the
other BuildPro series
Alpha 5/8 is the five-sided, tool-steel table in the 5/8" line. The other 5/8" series share its tooling; Alpha 28 is the metric 28 mm system. Greyed values match Alpha 5/8.

Construction
What the tabletop is made of
Heat-treated, nitrided plates on a bolt-together frame. The same build on every size.
-
Hole grid
5/8" on 2" centers
Ø0.625" (15.88 mm) holes every 2" (50.8 mm) across the top and down every side plate. One grid, five faces.
-
Top plate
P20 tool steel
Heat-treated to 58–62 HRC, then nitrided to 550 Vickers. Spatter and rust resistant; the hardest plate on the table is the one you work on.
-
Side plates
5-1/2" Q345B steel
50–55 HRC, 5-1/2" (140 mm) tall. With the top plate they make a 6" (152 mm) edge you can fixture against from the side.
-
Reversible
Flip a worn plate
Lift a plate off, turn it 180° and set it back. The other face becomes the new working surface. Top and side plates.
-
Self-locating
Segmented top
The top is several plates, not one slab. Precision-machined, self-locating plates drop back into position after a flip or a swap.
-
Frame
Bolt-together frame
Plates mount on a cross-braced underframe; the side plates locate on the same bushing system as the top. The legs bolt to the frame.
The square legs
Four legs,
one flange
Every Alpha 5/8" ships on 3.3" square, bolt-on legs. The letter is the variant you pick on the table page; the legs are also sold on their own.

Adjustable
22-1/4"–32-1/4"565–819 mm · leg alone
Telescoping height. An inner square tube slides inside the outer tube and two M14 locking bolts clamp it at the height you set, so there is no play between the tubes. Table variant B1.

3.3" square tube
3.3" (84 mm) square steel tube with Ø5/8" holes on 2" (50.8 mm) centers down the leg, so fixturing tools clamp to the legs too.
-
Bolt-on flange
5.35" (136 mm) square plate, four Ø1/2" (12.5 mm) holes on 4.5" (114.3 mm) centers. Bolts straight to the tabletop frame — swap legs later without touching the top.
-
Locking bolts
Two M14 bolts on the adjustable legs clamp the inner tube against the outer tube once the height is set — no wiggle between the telescoping tubes.
5/8" System
Works with the whole 5/8" system
Ø5/8" holes on a 2" grid on the top, the sides and the legs. Every clamp, stop, square and riser made for the Strong Hand Tools 5/8" system fits.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Straight answers on table height, tabletops, older tables and pricing.
- How tall is the finished table?
- Leg height plus the 6" tabletop. With the 30-1/4" fixed legs the top sits about 36-1/4" off the floor; with the 24-1/4" legs, about 30-1/4". The adjustable legs move the top through a 10" range.
- Can I buy the tabletop without legs?
- Yes. Every size is sold as a tabletop on its own (part numbers ending in -N), for mounting on a lift, a positioner or a frame of your own.
- Can I change legs later, or add casters?
- Yes. The four square legs are sold separately for Alpha 5/8" tables. They bolt on through the same flange, so a fixed-leg table can move to adjustable or caster legs.
- My Alpha 5/8" has the yellow round legs. What fits it?
- The Leg Brace Assembly. Those older tables use 3" round legs; the Leg Brace Assembly for them is a legacy item sold while supplies last. The square legs on this page are made for the current Alpha 5/8" tabletops.
- How do I get a price?
- Request a quote from the table page. Open the size you want and use the quote request; Alpha 5/8" tables are not sold through the online cart.
