Choose Your Nomad Pro Configuration

SHT-TUP-3020-TS – Complete Nomad Pro Welding Table

The complete table includes the upgraded Nomad Pro tabletop and the supporting folding base. This configuration is ideal for customers who need a complete, portable welding workstation.

The adjustable support posts, locking tilt mechanism, folding legs, and casters provide flexibility for welding and fabrication work in different areas of the shop.

SHT-TUP-3020-HF – Nomad Pro Tabletop Conversion Kit

The conversion kit is designed for customers who already own a compatible original Nomad welding table and want to upgrade to the heavier-duty Nomad Pro tabletop.

It includes the 30" x 20" Pro tabletop, two support plates, and mounting hardware needed for the compatible conversion.

The conversion kit does not include the table base, legs, height-adjustment posts, or casters.

Upgraded 5/16" Steel Fixturing Tabletop

The Nomad Pro features a substantial 5/16" (8mm) thick steel tabletop finished with manganese phosphate.

Compared with a conventional light-duty sheet metal work surface, the thicker steel plate provides a more substantial platform for welding clamps, positioning tools, and fabrication workpieces.

The 30" x 20" work area offers room for common welding projects while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for smaller fabrication shops, garages, and workstations.

150-Hole Precision Fixturing System

The Nomad Pro tabletop includes 150 precision-spaced fixturing holes arranged in a 15 x 10 pattern.

Each hole is approximately 5/8" (16mm) in diameter, with holes positioned on a 2" (50.8mm) grid.

This hole pattern allows the tabletop to accept compatible Strong Hand Tools 5/8" fixturing accessories.

Common accessories include:

• Inserta Clamps
• Inserta Pliers
• Positioning Stops
• Right Angle Brackets
• Aluminum V-Blocks
• Compatible 5/8" Fixturing Kits

These accessories help secure workpieces, maintain alignment, and support repeatable welding and assembly setups.

Note: Fixturing clamps and accessories are sold separately unless specifically included in another product configuration.

Adjustable Working Height – Complete Table

The TUP3020-TS Complete Welding Table features two height-adjustment posts equipped with locating pins and locking knobs.

These posts allow the table height to be changed to accommodate different fabrication tasks and working positions.

To adjust the height, remove all workpieces and accessories, support the tabletop, loosen the locking knobs, and reposition both support posts evenly.

Once the desired height is reached, reinstall the locating pins and tighten the locking knobs before returning the table to service.

Important: Height adjustment is a feature of the complete table and requires the compatible Nomad folding base. The tabletop conversion kit does not include the height-adjustment system.

Tilting Tabletop for Better Workpiece Access

The complete Nomad Pro welding table features an adjustable tabletop that can tilt from a horizontal working position toward vertical.

Two locking handles secure the tabletop at the selected angle, while notched adjustment plates provide repeatable positioning points.

This flexibility can make it easier to access different sides of a workpiece, position welded assemblies, and work at a suitable angle during fabrication.

Benefits of an Adjustable Tabletop:

• Improved access to different areas of the workpiece
• More flexible positioning for welding and assembly
• Useful for projects requiring an angled work surface
• Adjustable positioning for different fabrication tasks
• Vertical positioning for compact table storage

Safety Note: Always remove workpieces, clamps, and loose accessories before adjusting or tilting the tabletop. Secure both locking handles before use.

Folding Design for Compact Storage

The complete Nomad Pro table features a folding base designed to reduce the amount of space required when the workstation is not in use.

After removing all workpieces and accessories, the tabletop can be positioned vertically and the legs folded inward.

The two integrated casters allow the folded table to be repositioned and stored in a suitable location.

This folding design makes the Nomad Pro a practical choice for smaller fabrication shops, garage workshops, and shared workspaces.

Important: The folding base and casters are included only with the SHT-TUP-3020-TS Complete Welding Table.

Stable Workstation with Adjustable Leveling Foot

The complete Nomad Pro features a powder-coated folding steel frame with an eccentric leveling foot.

The leveling foot can be rotated to adjust the contact point and help stabilize the table on suitable workshop floor surfaces.

Before beginning work, confirm that the table is properly positioned, the support posts and tabletop are locked, and all intended floor contact points are stable.

Nomad Pro Tabletop Conversion Kit

The SHT-TUP-3020-HF is designed for customers who already have an original Strong Hand Tools Nomad welding table and want to upgrade the tabletop without purchasing an entirely new workstation.

The conversion kit includes the upgraded steel tabletop along with two support plates and the required tabletop mounting fasteners.

For an original Nomad folding base, the support plates install in their standard orientation.

For certain compatible third-party bases, the support plates may be reversed to align with the existing mounting holes.

Compatibility Note: Third-party base compatibility depends on the mounting arrangement. Verify the required hole alignment and support structure before installing the conversion kit.
