a supporting framework that is true and square, used to square up a vehicular frame, to elevate a vehicle's frame to work on it, or to build a framework that should be square and true.
Warum dieses Wort
The value is not the steel, it is the known-true reference: once the table is trusted, every measurement off it becomes a datum instead of a guess. Same logic as a surface plate in a machine shop or a welding table in fabrication.
In use
Get it up on the frame table before you weld anything, otherwise we're just guessing whether that rail is straight.
