Hello,
I’ve been keeping an eye (two when I can spare them) on getting pair to use on my 5/8 Build Pro table. My delay has been on getting the ball lock bolts and pins…
-
When will these parts be available?
-
Are the ball lock bolts adjustable enough to use on a 5/8 thick table (I think I see a set screen on them)?
-
Are 5/8 variants of products being phased out ( I see that the 14" Cast Iron Tower Block no longer has a web page for 5/8" version) or is the production focus at the moment on 3/4" items to meet demand for the tables?
A project I just completed had me wishing I would have had the tooth blocks! Thanks!

@Prometheus Production is a game of whack a mole. There’s 5 components that need to be turned for the bolts and then there’s several assembly steps. We might have some limited availability for the 5/8 end of the month, basically we have some parts just waiting one more component for assembly.
The bolts have a floating collar so they will work for both 1/2" and 5/8" thick tables. It works similar to the buildpro T55057. By the fall we should have a lot of inventory, we have some new machines coming online for turning parts.
5/8" system will be around, it’s not going anywhere. For the 14" blocks, we don’t have any current plans to make it in 5/8" because people can already buy blocks from other manufacturers. We probably had it listed as a mass part creation process.
We might make a 14" block in the future for 5/8" but it is not planned for now.
