Pick the size by what you build.
Same 0.630" plates, same 5/8" grid, the same two finishes 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. MAX tables and tabletops are priced by quote from their product page — the finish and legs you pick above carry over to that page. The square legs are also sold on their own.
Why MAX
The original
BuildPro table
MAX is the BuildPro production table. A thick, slotless plate top on a bolt-together frame, with Ø5/8" holes on 2" centers across the whole surface — every clamp, stop and square in the Strong Hand Tools 5/8" system locks straight in from above.
The top is a set of reversible, self-locating plates. When a plate is worn or spattered, lift it off, flip it 180° and drop it back on its bushings. Choose a standard plain-steel top, or a nitrided top for spatter, rust and wear resistance. The full build is in the tech specs.
Choose from four sizes, from 4' × 4' to 8' × 4', then pick the legs: two fixed heights, adjustable, or adjustable with casters. Tabletops are also sold on their own.
How it compares
MAX vs the
other BuildPro series
MAX is the thick-plate, top-fixturing production 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 MAX.

Construction
What the tabletop is made of
Thick, reversible plates on a bolt-together frame. The same build on every size, in two finishes.
-
Hole grid
5/8" on 2" centers
Ø0.625" (15.88 mm) holes every 2" (50.8 mm), CNC machined and chamfered, across the whole top. No slots — a full grid to the edge.
-
Plate
0.630" steel plate
0.630" (16 mm) medium carbon steel, machined flat to ±0.005" over any 24" × 24". The same plate as MAX Slotted, without the slots.
-
Two finishes
Standard or nitrided
Standard is plain steel; nitrided is heat-treated to HV 550 for weld-spatter, corrosion and wear resistance. Same plate, same holes — standard on the left, nitrided on the right.
-
Reversible
Flip a worn plate
Lift a plate off, turn it 180° and set it back. The other face becomes the new working surface — patented, U.S. Pat. 8065967.
-
Self-locating
Bushing system
Plates locate on bushings, not bolts. Remove, re-position, re-align or reverse a plate and it drops back into the same grid.
-
Frame
Bolt-together frame
Plates sit on a cross-braced underframe; the tabletop stands 6-1/4" (159 mm) tall at the edge. The square legs bolt to the frame through a flange, so legs can change later.
The square legs
Four legs,
one flange
Every MAX ships on 3.3" square, bolt-on legs. The letters are the leg part of the table part number; the legs are also sold on their own.

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 part-number letter R.

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 across the top and down 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, finishes, tabletops, older tables and pricing.
- How tall is the finished table?
- Leg height plus the 6-1/4" tabletop. With the 30-1/4" fixed legs the top sits about 36-1/2" off the floor; with the 24-1/4" legs, about 30-1/2". The adjustable legs move the top through a 10" range.
- Standard or nitrided — which finish do I pick?
- Same plate, same holes; the nitrided top adds a hardened surface. Standard is plain medium carbon steel. Nitrided is heat-treated to HV 550 for weld-spatter, corrosion and wear resistance. Pick the finish above the collection grid and it carries over to the table page.
- Can I buy the tabletop without legs?
- Yes. Every size is sold as a tabletop on its own in either finish (part numbers ending in V), 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. They bolt on through the same flange, so a fixed-leg table can move to adjustable or caster legs.
- My MAX has the yellow round legs. What fits it?
- The round legs and their braces, while supplies last. Older MAX tables use 3" round legs; the round table legs and the Leg Brace Assembly for them are legacy items. Those tables are also still listed as the 4' × 4' and 5' × 3' R1 models, and the tabletops page carries an "Older (Yellow Legs)" option. The square legs on this page are made for the current MAX tabletops.
- How do I get a price?
- Request a quote from the table page. Open the size you want and use the quote request; MAX tables are not sold through the online cart.
