Materials

Tools

Step 1 - Table Build-Top deck 1

Tools

1/2" Socket

Parts

2x 1000mm 4080 extrusion

4x 300mm 4040 extrusion

40x t-nuts

22x M8x20 bolts

22x M8 Washers

12x Corner Brackets

Steps

  1. Slide 6 t nuts into the top side of the 1000mm extrusion. (repeat for other beam)
  2. For the 300mm beams, 2 pairs of 2 will be identical, one "I" shaped, and one "C" shaped.
  3. For the C-shaped beam, Slide two t-nuts into one rail. Attach the corner brackets at the ends, ensuring the bracket is flush with the beams end. *Always use the side of the bracket with a flat face (non-lipped) first. This ensures you can get a tool onto the 2nd bolt without being blocked.
  4. For the I-Beams, repeat the same steps for the C-beam, but on both sides.
  5. Repeat so you have 2 I-beams and 2-C beams.
  6. *Optional* Add bolts to all remaining bracket holes and loosely attach t-nuts. (as seen in the right two beams in image 3)

Step 2 - Table Build- Top deck 2

Tools

1/2" Socket Wrench

Parts

Assemblies from previous step

Steps

  1. If you have already attached the bolts/and t-nuts from the optional step - Slide beams into the upper channel (as seen in image 1) Otherwise, thread the nuts into the channel and attach LOOSELY with bolts.
  2. Repeat for the bottom rail.
  3. Secure the C beams in place with the socket wrench, but leave the I-beams LOOSE as they will need to be shifted later.
