Designmaster Drafting Table

Choosing a drafting table can be a challenge for any new architect, engineer, artist or draftsman. There are several considerations that should be thought over before making the purchase.

Size needed for paper

It is vital that the buyer chooses a table that will be the best fit for whatever materials they are working with. For example, if large blueprints need to be spread across the drafting table, a large work surface will be necessary. On the other hand, drafters who work with smaller materials or artists who are working on standard sized paper will need only small workspaces, and a large surface may be more trouble than it’s worth.

Size needed for chair

Some artists, architects, engineers and draftsmen prefer to work at stools or chairs that sit high off the ground. In that case, the drafting table will need to either be adjustable or static at a high level. In contrast, there are some nonadjustable drafting tables that are set at desk height. These tables can be used with regular desk chairs, and some draftsmen prefer them.

Storage

Some drafting tables are only tables. They have no storage for blueprints, large plans, rulers or pencils. Other, more advanced drafting tables have storage for all of these things and more. This is a personal preference, but tables with more storage will likely cost more.
