The X-Frame table occupies a unique position in the Fireball lineup. Rather than a fixed one-piece top, the X-Frame uses a system of replaceable plates, making it the most adaptable table in the range. This opens up capabilities that no other table in the lineup can match.
More Stuff
Steel Top Table (78" x 78")
- TCX series combines a rigid, single piece cast frame with nitrided, tool steel plate.
- Top plates use P20 tool steel that is nitrided, which means a hard core material with extra hardened surface (over HRC 50).
- Top plates contain set screws for dialing in an extremely flat top surface.
One consideration:
Tool steel tops are slightly more prone to weld spatter adhesion than cast iron, and are sensitive to direct torch heat, which can discolor the surface or draw the heat treat out of a localized area. Open-flame heating work is better suited to cast iron topped tables.
THE X-FRAME IS THE RIGHT CHOICE IF YOU:
• Work across multiple materials — aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel — and need to prevent cross-contamination. Top plates can be swapped out entirely.
• Want the option to resurface your table — plates can be Blanchard ground flat and re-calibrated. In-house, Fireball has dialed the 102×54 X-Frame to within 5 thousandths of an inch.
• Operate in a high-production environment — where large weldments are loaded with a crane or forklift. The X-Frame is the only table with a tool steel top option, significantly more resistant to cosmetic damage.
• Want flexibility in your table surface — can be fitted with flat blank plates for a traditional flat-plate workbench feel.

Explaining FA75 Fixture System
- The entire Fireball Table system is based on 3/4” diameter hole sizes on a 2” grid pattern.
- All fixtures are also based on a 3/4” diameter hole size and use 1” thick by 2” wide fixtures.
- Tables and plates come in different thicknesses for different applications and price points, but ALL Fireball 3/4” fixtures are compatible with ALL Fireball 3/4” tables whether it’s a 3500 lb heavy duty table or a portable 50 lb plate.
Why 3/4” Hole System
- 45% larger cross section compared to ⅝” and 16mm holes means strong bolts, stronger clamp.
- Largest hole size while still having a 2” grid pattern on the table and 1” hole pattern on fixtures.
Why 2” Grid Pattern
- The 2” grid pattern is the ideal hole density to get clamps and fixtures where you need them.
- Many fixtures require 2 bolts to properly align them. Having a 2” grid pattern allows shorter, more compact fixtures compared to 4” hole spacing. This is even more important when fixtures have slots to bridge the gap to the next hole, and is the difference between a 4” on a 2” grid, vs an 8” slot on a 4” grid.
What Sets Every Fireball Table Apart
• Oversized Surface Area — Fireball tables are larger than the industry-standard 4×8 format, providing approximately 20% more working surface. That extra space matters when positioning fixtures around a full-sized weldment.
• Higher Hole Resolution — The 3/4-inch hole system at tighter hole centers gives you the strength advantages of a 28mm-style system combined with the finer positional resolution of a 16mm-style system — in one table.
• Machined Grid Lines and Perimeter Labeling — Every hole on a Fireball table has a unique label. Record exactly where every fixture was placed, come back weeks later, and set everything back up in minutes.
• 100% Cross-Compatibility — Every Fireball table uses the exact same hole centers and spacing. Your tooling works on every table, and any two tables can be combined seamlessly.
• The 3/4-Inch Hole — A Century-Old Standard — The 3/4-inch hole has been shared between woodworkers and blacksmiths for over 100 years. Standard off-the-shelf 3/4-inch bolts work directly in the table — no specialized fasteners required.
• Rigidity That Doesn’t Depend on Your Floor — Fireball tables are engineered so rigid that they do not need to be leveled to be flat. The table is isolated from the floor — whether your shop floor is perfectly flat or not, your table surface will be.
Unique Features of the Fireball Fixture System
The Fireball 3/4 fixture system uses the same fixtures for all tables. So whether you are starting with a mobile 1/2" thick plate or a truck sized heavy duty table, all fixtures work on both tables.
