Abstract
A truss assembly table including a table frame, a tabletop, a first pressing mechanism, and a second pressing mechanism, wherein the pressing mechanisms are each configured to apply an even amount of force to the chord members and chords of a truss built on the truss assembly table during the truss assembly process and thus reduce the likelihood that the truss will be improperly built.
