Methods and apparatus for assembling a truss are described. In one embodiment, the truss table apparatus includes a truss table and a roller assemb ly. The truss table includes two guides and a worksurface which supports the truss members as nailing plates are pressed into the truss members. The guides are coupled to opposing sides of the truss table and are substantially C-shaped. The roller assembly is movably coupled to the truss table guides and includes a roll er for pressing the nailing plates into the truss members. The roller assembly also includes a plurality of drive wheels that rest on the truss table guides to move the roller assembly relative to the truss table. The roller assembly further include s a plurality of pressure wheels rotatably coupled to the truss table to maintain the proper spacing between the roller and the truss table worksurface during pressin g of the nailing plates. The apparatus also includes at least one camber tube and at least one outer rail for clamping the truss to the worksurface prior to press ing the nailing plates into the truss members. |
