- 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.

Explaining FA75 Fixture System
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.
Table Sizes
- Typical tables are 4’x8’ long to work with sheet material, but this means the entire table surface is covered. Our unique sizes such as the 102”x54” table (8.5’ x 4.5’) allow you to fixture and clamp down on full 4’x8’ sheets. It may not sound like much, but by expanding our tables by 6” on each side, you get a lot more surface area to use.
- Our tables and plates are often designed with common widths to make it easy for join and expand tables in the future.
