Claim:
A truss fabrication system for fabricating trusses, each truss having at least two truss members and at least one connector for connecting the truss members, the system comprising: a table top defining a worksurface on which said truss members and connectors may be positioned; a gantry press which is movable relative to the table top and configured to press said at least one connector into the truss members to join the truss members; and a plurality of legs for supporting the table top at a position spaced above an underlying floor and adjustable in height such that the legs may be selectively manipulated to place the table top at a level orientation while the legs are fixedly attached to the floor, each leg comprising: a leg member having a threaded opening at one end thereof; a rod having a threaded first end and a second end, said first end being received through said threaded opening such that the rod is selectively rotatable within said threaded opening to adjust a height of the leg so as to adjust the height of the table top above the floor; a collar with at least one opening therein, the collar being fixedly attached to the floor by an anchor plate, wherein the second end of the rod is received through the opening in the collar and is rotatably movable with respect to the collar; and the anchor plate fixedly attached to the floor; wherein said collar is welded to the anchor plate and thereby fixedly attached to the anchor plate; and wherein the rod is formed to receive a tool for selectively rotating the rod to adjust the length of the leg.
