Abstract: The present disclosure defines a metal worktable comprising a tabletop and a plurality of table legs. The worktable has leg-supporting gussets to secure each of the table legs. Each gusset has a socket for receiving one of the table legs. Inside the socket of the gusset, there are stop protrusions that prevent the top surface of the table leg from directly contacting the underside of the tabletop. The worktable also has a inverted hat-shaped channel frame having a pair of side flanges that form the “brim” of the inverted hat shape. There are openings in the channel frame corresponding to the location of the table legs. At each opening in the channel frame, the corresponding leg-supporting gusset is recessed in the channel frame. The gusset contacts the side flanges of the channel frame rather than the underside of the tabletop. The channel frame is attached to the underside of the tabletop. Additionally, the corners of the tabletop are mitered to form a continuous lip.
