Built From the Inside Out

The tabletop becomes the assembly fixture.

The laser-cut top establishes the reference plane. Tabs and slots locate the internal rib-and-stiffener matrix. Included assembly draw plates pull the structure tight against the underside of the top before welding.

  • Lay the tabletop face-down
  • Install the rib and stiffener matrix
  • Install draw plates from the center outward
  • Recheck previously tightened plates as the structure seats
  • Tack the tab-and-slot joints
  • Install perimeter panels and build the base
  • Keep draw plates installed through the flip
Included Assembly Aids

Draw it tight before you weld it.

The supplied assembly draw plates bridge the internal ribs and bolt through the fixture grid. Tightening them pulls the rib structure firmly against the tabletop so the laser-cut geometry—not eyeballing—controls the fit-up.

Draw plates are temporary assembly tools and are removed only after the table structure is fully built and stable.

Before You Order

What Datum guarantees—and what depends on you.

Laser-cut component tolerance: ±0.015" unless otherwise specified. This is a component tolerance, not a finished-table flatness guarantee.

DIY assembly: final table flatness, geometry and finished condition depend on proper fit-up, weld sequence, heat control and fabrication technique.

Raw steel: normal mill variation, handling marks, minor scratches, discoloration and light surface oxidation may be present when they do not affect fit or function.

Cancellations: orders may be cancelled before material is ordered or production begins. Once material is ordered or production begins, the order is non-cancellable and non-refundable except for a verified manufacturing defect or fulfillment error.
