36 Inch X Style Table Base For Work Surfaces

36 inch X style table base from the 2000 Series is a 36 inch wide by 36 inch long base that supports square or similarly sized tops, helping installers set up stable work surfaces or tables for shop and project use. The 28-1/4 inch high design positions the work surface or tabletop at a practical height for many general tasks, helping keep work comfortable during extended use. This base is part of the Peter Meier, Inc. line of table bases, giving a consistent reference point when specifying parts across multiple locations or projects. The design is built around a steel tube, so the vertical support resists flex during normal loading, helping the top feel solid in use. A cast iron base works with the steel tube to provide weight and rigidity, reducing wobble when the table is moved or bumped during work.

Key 2000 Series X Style Table Base Details

• The 36 inch by 36 inch footprint defines a square support area, helping align tops with predictable overhangs on work surfaces and tables.
• The 28-1/4 inch height sets the finished top at a typical working level once a standard thickness top is mounted, supporting comfortable day-to-day use.
• A steel tube center column carries vertical loads efficiently, helping the base support work surfaces without excessive deflection during regular use.
• The cast iron base adds mass at floor level, improving stability so the table feels secure when people lean on the top or reposition the assembly.
• The X style layout distributes support arms in four directions, helping spread the load to the floor for balanced support under square or near-square tops.
• The black matte wrinkle finish creates a low-glare surface on visible metal parts, helping the base blend into shop, office, or project environments.

Mounting And Height Details For This Table Base

This 36 inch wide by 36 inch long 2000 Series table base uses a steel tube with a cast iron base, so vertical mounting runs from the floor up through a central column, helping installers align tops around a single support point. The 28-1/4 inch high dimension establishes the vertical build of the base, which helps plan total table or work surface height once the top thickness is known. A spider attachment sits at the top of the steel tube, creating a hub where the tabletop or work surface connects to the base in multiple directions, helping distribute forces from the top down into the tube and cast iron foot.

Using The 36 X 36 X Style Base In Projects

Where This 36 X 36 Table Base Fits Best

This 36 x 36 table base from the 2000 Series is suited to square or near-square work surfaces where a central support column is preferred, such as shop work tables, utility tables, or project benches that benefit from open leg space. The X style configuration underneath spreads support out from the centerline, helping the base sit firmly on the floor while the steel tube carries loads vertically up to the spider attachment. With a 28-1/4 inch base height, the final working height is shaped by the chosen top, allowing planners to match existing benches or create consistent station heights around a workspace. The black matte wrinkle finish visually grounds the base under the top, helping the support structure remain presentable in woodworking, commercial, or office-adjacent environments where exposed bases are visible.

Why The Steel Tube And Spider Support Workflow

The steel tube used in this Peter Meier, Inc. base provides a straight, rigid path from the cast iron base to the spider attachment, helping the table resist twisting under everyday side loads or shifting weight. The spider attachment at the top functions as a multi-arm connection hub to the underside of the work surface, helping spread the attachment points away from the center so loads from tools, materials, or leaning users transfer efficiently into the central tube. The cast iron base anchors the assembly at floor level with concentrated mass, improving resistance to rocking during lateral movement. Together, the 36 inch by 36 inch footprint and 28-1/4 inch height simplify planning when multiple identical stations are needed, because the same part number 2036-28-MT can be specified repeatedly for uniform setups.

Common Questions About The 2000 Series X Style Base

Selecting This Base For Work Tables And Surfaces

The 36 inch wide by 36 inch long 2000 Series X style table base in black matte wrinkle offers a clear set of dimensions and materials, making it straightforward to specify for new work tables or surface projects. With a steel tube center column, cast iron base, and spider attachment, the Peter Meier, Inc. model 2036-28-MT gives planners a defined structure for supporting square or near-square tops at a 28-1/4 inch base height. For projects handled through Wurth Baer Supply, this part number ties directly to a table base option suited to stable, centrally supported work surfaces.
