What is a Drafting Table?

A Drafting Table is designed for the specific use of architectural/engineering drafting and mechanical drawing, consisting of a rigid leg-support structure with a variable pitch top for convenience of user. Drafting tables come in various top sizes and vertical adjustment considerations for normal drafting requirements. Drafting tables have many uses and can be used for drafting, drawing, painting, viewing large documents, crafts, hobbies or general writing.

Step 1: Measure your space.

Drafting and drawing tables can take up a large amount of space. If you are limited on space consider a portable drafting board or a fold-a-way drafting table. These tables can be easily stored when not in use and are generally smaller in size. However, what you save in space and portability you take away in stability. Because of the fold-a-way legs, these tables are not as sturdy as other drafting and drawing tables available but are generally less expensive.

If you have ample space, consider a Four-Post or Pedestal drafting table. Four-Post and Pedestal drafting tables are much sturdier than fold-away tables. Because of the sturdy base, these tables have larger top sizes available but are generally more expensive.

Just remember, when you are looking at any drafting table that the legs make a footprint on the floor but the table top itself is larger.

Step 2: Determine what table top size you need.

Make sure to choose a table that is large enough to fit your needs. Find out what size paper you will be using and choose a table that is at least one size larger.

If the table is going to be used for viewing and correcting drawings, choose a table that will allow you to open the bound blueprints and keep the entire set on the table. When the blueprints hang off one edge they will want to fall off the table making them difficult to view.

If the table is used for drafting and drawing a larger surface area will give you more room to spread out books and other reference materials next to your drawing. When you only have just enough room for your drawing the space can feel cramped making you easily frustrated.
