Sleek, Functional, and Versatile: Our Latest 80/20 T-Slot Table Build
When it comes to custom fabrication projects, there’s nothing quite like a well-designed table that combines style, utility, and durability. Our latest build using 80/20 T-slot aluminum is a perfect example of how you can bring all these elements together in one versatile piece. Here's a closer look at how we approached this project and the key features that make it stand out.
The Vision
Our client needed a table that was as sleek as it was functional, capable of being easily moved while offering excellent visibility of stored items. We designed this table with mobility, aesthetic appeal, and practicality in mind, focusing on clean lines and robust materials.
Key Features
1. Casters for Mobility
Whether you're working in a workshop, a studio, or an office, flexibility is key. To make this table as mobile as possible, we equipped it with heavy-duty casters. These wheels not only make it easy to move the table around but also include locking mechanisms to ensure stability when stationary.
2. 3-Way Corner Connectors for a Sleeker Look
Instead of opting for traditional corner brackets, we chose 3-way corner connectors for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. These connectors eliminate the need for extra hardware, reducing visual clutter while maintaining the table’s structural integrity.
3. Polycarbonate Shelves for Visibility
The shelves on this table are made of clear polycarbonate, which offers two major benefits:
- Greater Visibility: You can easily see what's stored below without bending down or opening compartments.
- Durability: Polycarbonate is tough, impact-resistant, and lightweight, making it ideal for this build.
4. Customizable Dimensions
As with all 80/20 builds, the dimensions were fully customizable to meet the client's exact specifications. Whether you need a compact workstation or a large table for heavy-duty tasks, the T-slot framing system offers endless possibilities.
The Build Process
We started by designing the frame using 80/20's modular T-slot aluminum profiles. Once the basic structure was assembled, we added the 3-way corner connectors to create a smooth, polished frame. The casters were then attached, providing seamless mobility.
For the shelves, we cut the polycarbonate panels to size and mounted them securely. The result was a table that not only looks great but also delivers top-notch performance in any environment.
