Description
The only modular ultra heavy duty welding table with positionable, self-locating, reversible Table Plates for unlimited possibilities in heavy duty fixturing for welding and fabrication. Accurately locate, position and clamp stock for higher quality welding.
BuildPro Engineers developed the Alpha 28 line by customer demand for an affordable, heavy duty, metric Welding Table. The five-face Alpha 28 Table is the optimal solution for precision vertical and horizontal fixturing to expand your capabilities in welding and fabrication.
Each plate of the table is made from a low alloy tool steel that’s tough enough for use in the mold-making industry. After surface grinding and machining, each plate is further enhanced with a QPQ nitriding process that improves hardness, corrosion resistance, and resistance to weld spatter.
Plates on the table can be repositioned, or removed as applications dictate; a patented plate locating system means the spacing of the holes are always within tolerance without the need for special re-calibration.
Advantages of Buildpro tables over other brands
- Our plates are modular on a welded frame
- Plates can be reversed to use both sides (Basically a 2 in 1 table)
- The table frame is more rigid than our competitors frame because our frame has more material and uses full square profile in the tubing. The competitions tables are basically only forming 3 sides of a square, so it cannot have the same resistance to torsional (twisting) forces.
- The welded frame of our competitors table and nitriding of the entire table creates distortion. The distortion is strongest in the corners above the legs, which is very important since those areas are used the most
- Buildpro plate system is flatter, because they sit on top of a machined frame.
- Plates can slide out if needed to support wider material

Table Plates are made from tough P20 low alloy tool steel for a HV750 hardness, then CNC machined for flatness.
QPQ Nitriding Treatment provides corrosion and weld spatter resistance for superior performance and wear.
Patented, self-locating Table Plates can be repositioned, then easily realigned to the original position. Reposition the table plates as needed to increase the width of the table for oversized or complex fixtures.
2X Life! After showing signs of wear, Alpha 28 Table Plates can be reversed to provide a new work surface.
Each Heavy Duty Table leg supports 2,000 kg.
Alpha 28 tables feature 6 legs compared to competitors’ 4 legs on 2.4 x 1.2 and 2.1 x 1.0 table sizes for greater rigidity and flatness
