The table has a table column with a column foot and with a column head, where the column foot has a floor-side baseplate (12) and a column-side footplate (14). The footplate is mounted rotatably on the baseplate and is secured with a vertical play by an abutment against lifted oil from the baseplate. A pressure-actuated clamping cylinder (42) is provided in order to clamp the footplate against the abutment. The abutment is formed by a circular ring (22) that is connected to the baseplate, where the cylinder is acted upon by pressure fluid via a foot-actuated pump (28).
